Nya wants to buy a sweater that had an original price of $50. The sweater is now discounted 15% and the sales tax rate is 6%. How much will Nya pay for the sweater? Round to the nearest cent (hundredths place). *

$45.05

Step-by-step explanation:

Sale price of sweater is (1.00 - 0.15)($50), or 0.85($50) = $42.50.  Nya has to pay 6% sales tax on this $42.50.  Thus, the final amount due is

(1.00 + 0.06)($2.50) = $45.05

46.42

Step-by-step explanation:

First step is to find the discount

Discount = original price * discount rate

= 55 * 20%

= 55*.20

=11

Take the discount from the original price and that is the new price

new price = original price - discount

= 55-11

=44

Now we need to find the tax

tax = new price * tax rate

= 44 * 5.5%

= 44 * .055

=2.42

The final price is the new price plus the tax

final price = new price + tax

= 44+2.42

=46.42

Therefore, Nya will pay $46.42 for the sweater if she buys it.
