Answer:
$2.10
Step-by-step explanation:
Given: Regular price of vest is $15.99
Sales price of vest is $13.99
Sales tax= 5%
As given, there is difference in regular price and price on sales
∴ saving before tax= [tex]\$ 15.99 - \$ 13.99= \$ 2[/tex]
saving before tax= $2
Now, applying tax on both price to look at the saving on vest.
Tax on regular price= [tex]5\%\ on\ \$ 15.99+ \$ 15.99[/tex]
⇒ Tax on regular price= [tex]0.7995+ 15.99= \$ 16.7895[/tex]
∴ Price of vest after applied on regular price= [tex]\$ 16.7895[/tex].
Next Tax applied on discounted price of vest.
Tax applied on discounted price= [tex]5\% of \$ 13.99+ \$ 13.99[/tex]
⇒ Tax applied on discounted price= [tex]0.6995+ 13.99= \$ 14.6895[/tex]
Finding difference of price of vest to know the saving on sale.
Saving on vest= [tex]16.7895 - 14.7895= \$ 2.10[/tex]
Hence, Saving on buying vest on sale is $2.10
