Acustomer buys a different book that has an original selling price of $38. the book is discounted 25%. the customer must pay a 6% sales tax on the discounted price of the book. what is the total amount, in dollars, the customer pays for the discounted book?

The total amount customer pays for the discounted book is $ 30.21 .

Step-by-step explanation:

As given

A customer buys a different book that has an original selling price of $38.

The book is discounted 25%.

25% is written in the decimal form

= 0.25

Discount amount = 0.25 × Selling price of the books

                            = 0.25 × 38

                            = $ 9.5

Cost of the books after getting discount of 25% = Selling price of the books - Discount amount

                                                                                = $ 38 - $ 9.5

                                                                                = $ 28.5

As given

The customer must pay a 6% sales tax on the discounted price of the book.

6% is written in the decimal form

= 0.06

Sales tax amount = 0.06 × Cost of the books after getting discount of 25% .

                             = 0.06 × 28.5

                             = $ 1.71

Thus

Total amount pays by the customer for the books = Sales tax amount + Cost of the books after getting discount of 25%.

                                                                                   = $ 1.71 + $ 28.5

                                                                                   = $ 30.21

Therefore the total amount customer pays for the discounted book is $ 30.21 .
