Jack bought a new coat that was $120 but he had a 35% off coupon. If he had to pay 8% for tax, what was the total he paid for his coat?

80% im not sure if you wanted that or the number of the price‍♀️

$84.24

Step-by-step explanation:

In this problem, multiply 35% times 120 in order to find the total discount, and subtract the product from 120, to find the net cost of the coat.

With the sales tax, multiply 8% times the net cost of the coat, and add the product to the net cost of the coat. This gives the total amount of money you must pay.

Step 1: Multiply 35% times 120

Turn 35% into a decimal. Simply move the decimal two places to the left, as you should do with all percents used in multiplication.

0.35 · 120 = 42

This is the product of the discount

Step 2: Subtract 42 from 120

Since 42 is the value of the discount, you need to subtract it from the original price of the coat.

120 - 42 = 78

This is the price of the discounted coat

Step 3: Multiply 8% times 78

Remember what you did in step 1? Just do the same math you did previously.

.08 · 78 = 6.24

This is the amount of the sales tax

Step 4: Add 6.24 to 78

Since sales tax increases the price paid, you need to add it to the price of the discounted coat.

78 + 6.24 = $84.24

This is the amount of money you must pay

it would be:
