A jacket's price is 65.00. it is in sale for 40% off. you have to pay 5% sales tax. what is the final price for the jacket

To start, you have to figure out how much you are paying after the 40% discount is applied.

65 - 40% =

65 - (65 x. 40) =

65 - 26 = 39

Then you add the 5% sales tax.

39 + 5% =

39 + (39 x. 05) =

39 + 1.95 = 40.95

The final price is $40.95
