A sweater sells for $65. The clerk takes 20% off the sale price, then adds 7% sales tax. What is the cost of the sweater after the discount and tax?

Question

YourlocalRandom2000 · Answer

Step 1: Calculate the discount amount. Discount = 20% of $65 Discount = 0.20 * $65 Discount = $13

Step 2: Calculate the sale price after the discount. Sale price = $65 - $13 Sale price = $52

Step 3: Calculate the amount of sales tax. Sales tax = 7% of $52 Sales tax = 0.07 * $52 Sales tax = $3.64

Step 4: Calculate the final cost after adding sales tax. Final cost = Sale price + Sales tax Final cost = $52 + $3.64 Final cost = $55.64

Therefore, the cost of the sweater after the discount and tax is $55.64.
