A store offers a 15% discount on all items in the store during a sale. All store employees get an additional 10% employee discount. In the equation below, C represents the cost of an item for an employee including tax, and x represents the original price of the item.

C = 0.765x + 0.06(0.765x)

Chris is an employee at the store. He plans to buy a coat during the sale. The price of the coat before the discount is $100. How much will Chris pay for the coat during the sale?

Use the equation to find the cost. Substitute $100 for x and solve.

To find out how much Chris will pay for the coat during the sale, we need to substitute the original price of the coat, x, into the equation for C.

In the equation C = 0.765x + 0.06(0.765x), we know that x is the original price of the item, which is $100.

So, we substitute x = $100 into the equation:

C = 0.765($100) + 0.06(0.765($100))

C = $76.50 + 0.06($76.50)

Now, we need to calculate the final amount Chris will pay for the coat during the sale. The equation provides the total cost of an item for an employee, including tax. Since the question does not mention any tax percentage, we assume there is no tax applied. Therefore, the total cost Chris will pay for the coat during the sale is simply the calculated value of C.

C = $76.50 + 0.06($76.50)

C = $76.50 + $4.59

C = $81.09

So, Chris will pay $81.09 for the coat during the sale.
