Sam bought an $85.00 jacket for 40% off the regular price. after the discount, he has to pay a 6% tax. how much does he pay for the jacket?

$54.06

Step-by-step explanation:

The discount is 40% of the regular price.

We first find 40% of $85, then we subtract it from $85.

40% of $85 =

= 40% * $85

= 0.4 * $85

= $34

The 40% discount on $85 amounts to a discount of $34. Now we subtract $34 from $85 to find the discounted price before tax.

$85 - $34 = $51

The discounted price before tax is $51.

Now we need to add a tax of 6% of $51 to the amount $51.

We calculate 6% of $51, and we add it to $51.

6% of $51 =

= 6% * $51

= 0.06 * $51

= $3.06

The 6% tax on $51 is $3.06.

The last step is to add the $3.06 tax to $51.

$51 + $3.06 = $54.06

$54.06
