A winter jacket is regularly $85.00. It's on sale for 35% off, and 13% HST applies to the sale price. What is the final price?

📘 Worked solution
135% of $85.00 = $29.75Find the discount amount first.
2$85.00 - $29.75 = $55.25Subtract the discount from the regular price to get the sale price.
313% of $55.25 = $7.18HST is charged on the sale price, not the original price.
4$55.25 + $7.18 = $62.43Add the tax to the sale price for the amount actually paid.
