Ethan bought a jacket that was on sale for 25% off. The jacket was originally priced at $69.99.
About how much change would he get from a $100.00 bill if he pays 6% tax?
100 - 69.99*0.75*1.06 = 44.36
To solve this question, first, we need to calculate the discounted price of the jacket after the 25% discount.
Step 1: Calculate the discount amount:
25% of $69.99 = 0.25 * $69.99 = $17.4975 (rounded to $17.50)
Step 2: Calculate the sale price after the discount:
Original price - Discount amount = $69.99 - $17.50 = $52.49
Step 3: Calculate the amount paid after adding the 6% tax:
Sale price + 6% tax = $52.49 + (6/100) * $52.49 = $52.49 + $3.1494 (rounded to $3.15) = $55.64
Step 4: Calculate the change from a $100 bill:
Change = $100 - $55.64 = $44.36
Therefore, Ethan would get about $44.36 in change from a $100.00 bill if he pays 6% tax.
