Brett bought three pairs of jeans and five polo shirts. the jeans that regularly sell for 79$ were 35% off and the polo shirts that regularly sell for 39$ were 15% off. If sales tax is 5.75% and he gave the cashier 350$, how much did he receive back in change?
If the jeans are 35% off, he had to pay 65% the price $79 x .65 x 3 = $154.05 If the polo was 15% off, he had to pay 85% the price $39 x .85 x 5 = $165.75 Sales tax = price is 1.0575 (154.05 + 165.75) = $338.19 $350 - $338.19 = $11.81 in change
