Question 6 • POP Financial Math 26/27

Ozzie has a coupon for 5% off any purchase in his favorite bakery. When Ozzie stops to buy some cookies, he discovers that all cookies are on sale for 15% off the regular price. The cookies are regularly $5.89 per dozen. If Ozzie uses his coupon and pays 7% sales tax, how much does he pay for two dozen cookies?

Answer
A
$9.42
B
$9.51
C
$10.08
D
$10.18

Explanation

Two dozen cost 2 × $5.89 = $11.78 before discounts. Apply the 15% sale discount and then the 5% coupon: $11.78 × 0.85 × 0.95 = $9.51235. Add 7% sales tax: $9.51235 × 1.07 ≈ $10.18, so Ozzie pays $10.18.
