Answer 3

In this case you'll need to take the original price of the jacket, then times it by the factors mentioned.
To take 30% off the price, that's equivalent to 70% of the original price.
Therefore:
\[Price = 63.00 \times 0.7\]
Then, we need to add the sales tax on top. In this case we're increasing it by 6%, so it needs to be 106% total.
\[Price = (63.00 \times 0.7) \times 1.06 = 46.746\]
