Brian buys a shirt that originally cost $22. All shirts are 25% off. When he pays at the register the cashier adds 6% sales tax to the sale price. How much does Brian pay for the shirt?
no problem :]
I NEED HELP!! PLZ
1 - 0.25 = 0.75
22 x 0.75 = 16.5 = price of sale shirt
1.06 x 16.5 = 17.49
$17.49
Thank you so much! I got that, too!
Actually, it would be 17.52. You have to divide 6 by 2 = 3. So add 17.49 and 3. Your answer will be 17.52. ;)
To calculate how much Brian pays for the shirt, we need to follow these steps:
1. Calculate the discount amount: The shirt is 25% off, so 25% of $22 can be found by multiplying $22 by 0.25.
Discount amount = $22 x 0.25 = $5.50
2. Calculate the sale price: Subtract the discount amount from the original price.
Sale price = $22 - $5.50 = $16.50
3. Calculate the sales tax: Add 6% of the sale price to the sale price.
Sales tax amount = $16.50 x 0.06 = $0.99
4. Calculate the total amount paid by adding the sale price and the sales tax.
Total amount paid = Sale price + Sales tax amount
Total amount paid = $16.50 + $0.99 = $17.49
Therefore, Brian pays $17.49 for the shirt after the discount and sales tax are applied.
