Answer:
$14.96
Explanation:
Shipping and handling charges are attached.
Given: Discounted price= $65.55.
Regular sales price= $77.77
Sales tax= 6%.
Now, find the cost of coat after tax.
Cost of coat= [tex]77.77+(77.77\times 6\%)[/tex]
⇒ Cost of coat= [tex]77.77+ 4.66= \$ 82.43[/tex]
Adding shipping charges to the cost= [tex]82.43+8.95= \$91.39[/tex]
Hence, cost of coat after tax and shipping charges= $91.39.
Next finding total cost of coat if sold at discount after tax.
Cost of coat at discounted price after tax= [tex]65.55+(65.55\times 6\%)[/tex]
⇒ Cost of coat at discounted price after tax= [tex]65.55+ 3.93[/tex]
⇒ Cost of coat at discounted price after tax= [tex]\$ 69.48[/tex]
Adding shipping charges to the cost of coat= [tex]69.48+6.95=\$ 76.43[/tex]
Hence, cost of coat at discounted price after tax and shipping charges= $76.43.
Finding saving amount by ordering coat at the sale price or discounted price.
∴ Saving = [tex]Total\ cost\ of\ coat\ at\ regular\ price - Total\ cost\ of\ coat\ at\ discounted\ price[/tex]
Saving= [tex]91.39-76.43= \$ 14.96[/tex]
Hene, Total saving by ordering coat at the sale price is $14.96
