Question 19 • POP Financial Math 26/27

Claire purchases a new dress for the prom. The dress is priced $160, but it is on sale for 30% off. Claire’s aunt works at the store and can give her an additional 10% off. If the sales tax is 7.5%, how much does Claire pay for the dress?

Answer
A
$93.24
B
$103.20
C
$108.36
D
$120.40

Explanation

First apply the 30% sale discount: $160 × 0.70 = $112. Then apply the additional 10% discount to the sale price: $112 × 0.90 = $100.80. Adding 7.5% sales tax gives $100.80 × 1.075 = $108.36, so Claire pays $108.36.
