Actual selling price = \(85$\)
8% sales tax means the final price will be \(85 * (1 + 8/100) = 91.8$\)
Customer saves 18.36$, with tax.
Therefore, the customer pays \(91.8 - 18.36 = 73.44$\)
The marked down price of the jacket is \(73.44/1.08 = 68$ \)
Please explain why we have calculated the last part:
The marked down price of the jacket is \(73.44/1.08 = 68$ \)
