A jacket sells for $24.99. All the merchandise in the store is on sale at a 25% discount. If the sales tax is 8%, what will a customer pay for the jacket?

$20.24

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the 25% discount takes off a quarter of the price, we multiply 24.99 by 3/4

24.99 x 3/4 = 18.74

So with the discount and without tax, the cost of the jacket is 18.74

Then we add 8% for sales tax

8% of 18.74 is $1.50

18.74 + 1.5 = 20.24

So the final cost of the jacket is $20.24
