Under Armour is running a 40% off sale for teachers. Mr. Ford wants to buy some clothes and
his subtotal is $98 before the discount. After the discount is applied, there will also be a 9.5% sales tax added on to it. How much is his total?

Respuesta :

Alright, let's break it down:

1. Apply the 40% discount to $98:
$98 * 40% = $39.20 discount.
$98 - $39.20 = $58.80 after discount.

2. Add the 9.5% sales tax to the discounted total:
$58.80 * 9.5% = $5.586 tax.
$58.80 + $5.586 = $64.386 total.

So, Mr. Ford's total would be about $64.39 after the discount and tax.
