Answer 2

Answer:

After the coupon and sales tax were applied, he paid $\blue{\bold{\ 15.27}}$ for the shirt.

Step-by-step explanation:

• We are given that a shirt is $16.95.
• This is reduced by 15% due to the coupon.

$\rightsquigarrow$ $\tt{100\% - 15\% = 85\%}$

$\rightsquigarrow$ Therefore, 85% of the shirt price is still active.

$\rightsquigarrow$ $\displaystyle \frac{85}{100}=0.85$

$\rightsquigarrow$ We can multiply this value by the shirt price to find the current price.

$16.95 \times 0.85 = 14.4075 \approx \ 14.41$

$\rightsquigarrow$ However, the shirt also has a sales tax of 6% applied after the coupon.

$\displaystyle \frac{6}{100} = 0.06$

$\rightsquigarrow$ Now, we need to find the total price for the shirt.

$\displaystyle 14.41 \times 0.06 = 0.8646$

$\rightsquigarrow$ He paid=$\sf{ 14.41+0.8646=15.2746\approx{\ 15.27}  }$ 

Therefore, he paid $15.27 for the shirt.
