Store A will be the better buy.
The price will be $53.70 after sales tax at store A.
Step-by-step explanation:
Price of Jacket at store A = $59.60
Discount = 15%
Discount Amount = [tex]\frac{15}{100}*59.60\\[/tex]
Discount Amount = [tex]0.15*59.60=\$8.94[/tex]
Price after discount = Original price - Discount amount
Price after discount = 59.60 - 8.94 = $50.66
Price of Jacket at store B = $50.99
The price at store A becomes less than store B after discount, therefore, buying from store A is better.
Sales tax = 6%
Sales tax amount = [tex]\frac{6}{100}*50.66[/tex]
Sales tax amount = [tex]0.06*50.66=\$3.0396[/tex]
Price after sales tax = Discount price at store A + Sales tax amount
Price after sales tax = 50.66 + 3.0396 = $53.6996
Rounding off to nearest hundredth;
Price after sales tax = $53.70
The price will be $53.70 after sales tax at store A.
