Lydia bought a shirt at 20% off its retail price of $40. She paid 5% tax on the price after the discount. How much did Lydia pay for the shirt?

darkknight:

what do you think?

Harleyuinn:

I think it wants me to multiply it then divide it then subtract it, but i don't know.

darkknight:

yes. initial is 40. problem states to apply 20% off then add 5% on the price after discount

darkknight:

So 20% off is 80%. 40(.8) = $32 Find 5% of this and add it to 32

leila1234567:

32+1.60=

leila1234567:

$33.60

Harleyuinn:

$33.6 right

leila1234567:

yes

Harleyuinn:
