Answer:

19.53

Step-by-step explanation:

First let's find the new price of the backpack:

40% of 29.99 is

29.99 * 0.40 = 11.99

So the new price of the backpack is

29.99 - 11.99 = 18.00

Now let's find the price with tax

8.5% of 18.00 is

18.00 * 0.085 = 1.53

So the cost of the backpack is

18.00 + 1.53 = $19.53

Answer:

$19.52

Step-by-step explanation:

29.99 x 0.60 = 17.994, (60% of 29.99)

1.085 x 17.994 = 19.52349 = $19.52 (2dp) , - (Add 8.5% Tax)
