expression A- 1.08(r-0.30r)

expression B- 1.08r-0.30r

Respuesta :

Answer:

The final price of the jacket will be expression A- 1.08(r - 0.30r).

Step-by-step explanation:

The cost of a jacket that is marked down by 30% of the regular price (r) will be [tex]r (1 - \frac{30}{100}) = r(1 - 0.30) = r - 0.30r[/tex].

Again, the cost of the same jacket after giving an 8% sales tax of the marked down price will be [tex](r - 0.30r)(1 + \frac{8}{100}) = 1.08(r - 0.30r)[/tex].

Therefore, the final price of the jacket will be expression A- 1.08(r - 0.30r). (Answer)
