Martin finds a shirt on sale for 20% off at a department store. The original price was $20. Martin must also pay a 7.5% sales tax. Part 1 out of 2
How much is the shirt before taxes are applied?

Before taxes, the shirt is $

You will pay $13.52 for this shirt.

Step-by-step explanation: 0.9435

Since the tax is 7.5%, you have to multiply 12.58 by 7.5% to find the amount of money paid as tax.

7.5% = 0.075

12.58 x 0.075 = 0.9435

Since we are dealing with money we have to round to the nearest hundredth -- 0.9435 = 0.94

Then to find the final cost of the shirt, we have to add 12.58 and 0.94 to get  $13.52.

b is the final answer! : )
