A department store is having a sale where all items are 45% off of their original prices (meaning the buyer gets to decrease the price by 45%). The store must charge an 8% sales tax on the final cost of any item. Parker wants to buy a jacket that was originally $240.


(a) How much will Parker get to take off of

the $240 price based on the sale?

(b) How much will the final cost of Parker’s

jacket be, without tax added?

(c) How much tax will be added to the cost

of the jacket in (b)?

(d) How much will Parker have to pay for the

jacket including the tax?
