Suppose you want to buy a great pair of designer jeans that were originally priced at $95, but are now on sale for 10% off. When you buy the jeans, you need to pay sales tax of 10% on the sales price. How much will you have to pay for the jeans?

$94.05

Step-by-step explanation:

Original price of jeans=$95

Discount=10%

New price=(100% - 10%) of $95

=90% × 95

=90/100 × 95

=0.9 × 95

=$85.5

Sales tax of 10%

10% of the new price

=10/100 × 85.5

=0.1 × 85.5

=$8.55

Sales tax =$8.55

Total amount paid for the jeans= sales tax + new tax

=$8.55 + $85.5

=$94.05
