Cevap

The final total cost of the winter coat is $111.30\$111.30.
The correct answer accurately calculates the discounted price first ($105\$105), and then correctly applies the 6%6\% sales tax to that new, lower amount ($105×1.06=$111.30\$105 \times 1.06 = \$111.30).

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Calculate the discount amount.
$140×0.25=$35\$140 \times 0.25 = \$35
To find how much money will be taken off the original price, multiply the original price by the discount percentage.
2
Determine the discounted sale price.
$140−$35=$105\$140 - \$35 = \$105
Subtract the discount amount from the original price to find the price before tax.
3
Calculate the sales tax on the discounted price.
$105×0.06=$6.30\$105 \times 0.06 = \$6.30
Sales tax is applied only to the final sale price, not the original sticker price.
4
Calculate the final total cost.
$105+$6.30=$111.30\$105 + \$6.30 = \$111.30
Add the sales tax amount to the discounted sale price to find the final amount paid at the register.
