What is the percentage?

The Percentage is defined as representing any number with respect to the 100. It is denoted by the sign %.

Given that:-

  • A dress that costs $20. She has a coupon for 40% off, and there is a 10% sales tax.

A )  After using the coupon, what is the sale price of the dress?

The total market price will be reduced by 40% after using the coupon. So the remaining amount will be 60%.

Sales price = 20 x 60% = 20 x 0.6 = $12

B.) How much is the 10% tax on the sale price?

The sales tax is levied on the remaining amount after the discount at $12 so the 10% more amount will be paid. So sales price after adding the sales tax of 10% will be:-

Sales price = 12 x 1.10 = $13.2

Therefore the sale price of the dress after using the coupon will be $12.The sale price after 10 % sales tax will be $13.2.
