Susan went to the clothing store and bought a sweater. The sweater was originally priced at $50. What would the cost of the sweater be at 25% off and 5.5% sales tax?

Step one: Find the cost of the sweater. $50 x .75 = $37.50

Step two: Find the sales tax. $37.50 x 0.055 = $2.06

Step three: Add the cost of the sweater and sales tax together. $ 37.50 + $2.06 = $39.56
