Answer:
$37.8
Explanation:
Given:
A set of sheets that regularly costs $50 is on sale for 30% off the regular price.
If sales tax is applied to the sale price at a rate of 8%
The total cost of the set of sheets = ?
Solution:
Regular price = $50
Discount amount = 30% of $50
= [tex]\frac{30}{100} \times50=\frac{1500}{100} =\$15[/tex]
Price of a set of sheets after discount = Regular price - Discount amount
= $50 - $15
= $35
Sale tax amount = 8% of $35
= [tex]\frac{8}{100}\times35=\frac{280}{100} =\$2.8[/tex]
Total cost of a set of sheets = Price after discount + Sale tax amount
= $35 + $2.8
= $37.8
Thus, the total cost of the set of sheets is $37.8
