Question 8 • POP Financial Math 26/27

A clearance rack is marked as 35% off the regular price. A shirt on the clearance rack has a regular price of $45.99. If there is 7.25% sales tax, what will the shirt ring up for at the register?

Answer
A
$17.26
B
$21.67
C
$29.89
D
$32.06

Explanation

A 35% discount means the shirt costs 65% of its regular price: $45.99 × 0.65 = $29.8935. Add 7.25% sales tax by multiplying by 1.0725: $29.8935 × 1.0725 ≈ $32.06. The shirt rings up for $32.06, choice D.
