A jackets original price is $65.00. It is on sale for 40% off. You have to pay 5% in sales tax. What is the final price for a jacket? I need help not answers
1.05 (65*.6) = ?
Don't forget the sales tax.
now what is 1.05 * 39?
Online, “*” is used to indicate multiplication to avoid confusion with “x” as an unknown.
Make your equations clear.
=39
65 x .6 39

@PsyDAG it would be 40.95 whats next?
To find the final price for a jacket, we need to follow a few steps:
1. Calculate the amount of discount: The jacket is on sale for 40% off, so we need to find 40% of the original price. To calculate this, we can multiply the original price by 0.40: $65.00 * 0.40 = $26.00.
2. Subtract the discount from the original price: Now, let's subtract the discount amount we found in step 1 from the original price: $65.00 - $26.00 = $39.00.
3. Calculate the sales tax: To find the sales tax, we need to find 5% of the final price. Multiply the final price by 0.05: $39.00 * 0.05 = $1.95.
4. Add the sales tax to the final price: Finally, add the sales tax to the final price to get the total amount you need to pay: $39.00 + $1.95 = $40.95.
So, the final price for the jacket, including the 40% discount and 5% sales tax, is $40.95.
If you use this as your answer, you better be able to explain why you multiplied by .6, then by 1.05. Plagiarism is an Honor Code violation!
65x .6= 39
39x 1.05= 40.95
Answer: $40.95
