A tshirt costs 24.99. its on sale for 30 percent off. whats the total price including taxes?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Correct Answer and Explanation is :<\/strong><\/mark><\/p>\n\n\n\n

To calculate the final price of the T-shirt with the sale discount and taxes, we\u2019ll follow these steps:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Find the sale discount<\/strong>: Since the discount is 30%, we multiply the original price ($24.99) by 30% (or 0.30 in decimal form).
    [
    24.99 \\times 0.30 = 7.497
    ]
    This means the discount amount is $7.50 (rounded to two decimal places).<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Subtract the discount from the original price<\/strong>:
    [
    24.99 – 7.50 = 17.49
    ]
    The discounted price of the T-shirt is $17.49.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Add the sales tax<\/strong>: Sales tax varies by location, but let\u2019s assume a tax rate of 7.5% (a common U.S. sales tax). Multiply the discounted price ($17.49) by 7.5% (or 0.075 in decimal form).
    [
    17.49 \\times 0.075 = 1.31175
    ]
    The sales tax is approximately $1.31.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. Calculate the total price<\/strong>:
    [
    17.49 + 1.31 = 18.80
    ]
    So, the total price including tax is $18.80<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    Explanation of Each Step<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
      \n
    1. Applying a Percentage Discount<\/strong>: To calculate a percentage discount, you convert the percentage (30%) into a decimal by dividing by 100 (30 \u00f7 100 = 0.30). Then, multiply the original price by the decimal to find the discount amount.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    2. Finding the Discounted Price<\/strong>: Subtract the discount from the original price to get the reduced price after the discount.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    3. Calculating Sales Tax<\/strong>: Sales tax is also a percentage of the price (in this case, the discounted price). The same method is applied: convert the tax rate to a decimal and multiply by the discounted price.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    4. Final Total Price<\/strong>: Add the tax amount to the discounted price to get the final total.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
