Answer:
$12.78.
Step-by-step explanation:
The discount is 20% so:
Total payment before tax = 15 - (15 *20/100) = $12.
Now we add the 6.5% tax:
Total payment after tax = 12 + (12 * 6.5/`100) = $12.78.
Answer: Paige paid $11.22 for the T-shirt, including sales tax
Step-by-step explanation:
Paige buys T-shirts that regularly cost $15 during the sale. If a 20% discount is applied, the value of the discount would be
20/100 × 15 = 0.2 × 15 = $3
The price of the T-shirt would be
15 - 3 = $12
She also pays 6.5% in tax, which is added after the discount is applied. This means that the amount of tax that she paid is
6.5/100 × 12 = 0.065 × 12 = $0.78
Therefore, the total amount that Paige paid for the T-shirt, including sales tax is
12 - 0.78 = $11.22
