Question 1150049
Before going to the register:
Scarf price = $12.50
Nail polish price = $3
At the register:
Since the scarf price is 5% off so the selling price of the scarf is:
= $ {{{12.50 - (12.50*5)/100 }}}
= $ {{{ 12.50 - 62.5/100 }}}
= $ {{{ 12.50 - 0.625 }}}
= $ 11.875
Hence:
Selling price of scarf is $11.875
The subtotal (scarf and nail polish before tax ) is $(11.875+3) or $14.875
Now:
If 9% tax is applied on the subtotal then the total price including tax will be:
= $ {{{ 14.875 + (14.875*9)/100}}}
= $ {{{ 14.875 + 1.33875}}}
= $ 16.21375
Hence:
The subtotal after applying tax is approximately $16.21
