Answer:Jake's total cost is $22.05
Step-by-step explanation:
The initial price of the sweater is $30. The store is having a sell that will reduce the price by 30%. This means that there is a reduction in the original amount of the sweater by 30% which is expressed as
30/100 × 30 = $9
The new price of the sweater would be 30 - 9 = $21
Since a sales tax of 5% will be added to the final purchase price, the value of the tax would be
5/100 × 21 = 0.05×21 = $1.05
Jake's total cost would be
21 + 1.05 = $22.05
