$24.30 will be saved on coat after discount and sales tax.
Step-by-step explanation:
Original price = $275
Discount = 15%
Discount amount = 15% of original price
[tex]Discount\ amount=\frac{15}{100}*275\\Discount\ amount=\frac{4125}{100}\\Discount\ amount=\$41.25[/tex]
Price after discount = 275 - 41.25 = $233.75
Sales tax = 7.25%
Amount of sales tax = 7.25% of 233.75
[tex]Amount\ of\ sales\ tax=\frac{7.25}{100}*233.75\\Amount\ of\ sales\ tax=\frac{1694.69}{100}\\Amount\ of\ sales\ tax=\$16.95[/tex]
Total amount spent = Price after discount + amount of sales tax
[tex]Total\ amount\ spent= 233.75+16.95\\Total\ amount\ spent=\$250.70[/tex]
Amount saved = Original price - total amount spent
Amount saved = 275 - 270.70 = $24.30
$24.30 will be saved on coat after discount and sales tax.
