Calculating Discount and Tax on Clothing Purchases

Hard Arithmetic Fractions, Decimals, And Percents

During a sale, a store offers a discount of 30% on all items. A customer plans to buy a pair of shoes originally priced at $80 and a jacket originally priced at $120. After the discount is applied, the customer wants to know what the total amount spent will be after applying a sales tax of 8% on the discounted prices.

To calculate the total cost, first find the discounted prices for each item and then apply the sales tax on the sum of those discounted prices.
