Question 7 • Personal Finance

Tyrell is gearing up for the football season and decides to purchase some items online. He has a promotional code for a one time 10 dollars off any purchase of 50 dollars or more. Tyrell orders 2 new jerseys at 32 point 8 9 dollars each and a hat for 23 point 9 9 dollars Tyrell pays 7 percent sales tax on his purchase, but pays no shipping charges. What is the total of Tyrell’s online purchase?

Answer
A
96 point 0 5 dollars
B
85 point 3 5 dollars
C
79 point 7 7 dollars
D
50 point 1 6 dollars

Explanation

The two jerseys cost 2 × $32.89 = $65.78. Adding the $23.99 hat gives $89.77, so Tyrell can use the $10 discount, reducing the taxable purchase to $79.77. The 7% sales tax is $79.77 × 0.07 = $5.58, making the total $79.77 + $5.58 = $85.35. The correct choice is $85.35.
