Hannah was at the store and saw a pair of jeans that she wanted. The price on the tag was $45.65, but the jeans were 20% off and taxes are 5% what would Hannah pay for the jeans with the discount and the taxes?

Respuesta :

Answer: $38.80

If we want to know the actual amount [tex]P[/tex] Hannah would pay for the jeans, we have to subtract from the price [tex]p[/tex] that was in the tag the 20% in discount and then add the 5% in taxes:

[tex]P=p-20\%p+5\%p[/tex]     (1)

The 20% in discount is:

[tex]45.65(\frac{20}{100})=9.13[/tex]    (2)

The 5% in taxes:

[tex]45.65(\frac{5}{100})=2.28[/tex]    (3)

Now, we have to substitute both values in (1):

[tex]P=45.65-9.13+2.28[/tex]      

Finally:

P=38.80

Therefore the amount Hannah would pay for the jeans is $38.80
