Answer:
After the coupon and sales tax were applied, he paid $15.27 for the shirt.
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given that a shirt is $16.95. This is reduced by 15% due to the coupon.
[tex]100\% - 15\% = 85\%[/tex]
Therefore, 85% of the shirt price is still active.
[tex]\displaystyle \frac{85}{100}=0.85[/tex]
We can multiply this value by the shirt price to find the current price.
[tex]16.95 \times 0.85 = 14.4075 \approx \$14.41[/tex]
However, the shirt also has a sales tax of 6% applied after the coupon.
[tex]\displaystyle \frac{6}{100} = 0.06[/tex]a
Now, we need to find the total price for the shirt.
[tex]\displaystyle 14.41 \times 1.06 = 15.2746 \approx \$15.27[/tex]
Therefore, he paid $15.27 for the shirt.
