Answer:

Total cost of jersey = $210

Option A is correct option

Step-by-step explanation:

Original price of jersey = $250

Sale price is 20% of Original price i.e 20% off $250

Now finding 20% off 250

[tex]20\% \ of \ 250\\=\frac{20}{100}\times 250\\=50[/tex]

So there will be discount of $50

The Price of jersey after 20% discount is: 250-50 = 200

Sale Price of jersey = $200

Now we add 5% GST

5% off 200

[tex]5\% \ of \ 200\\=\frac{5}{100}\times 200\\=10[/tex]

So, GST amount is $10

Total cost of jersey = Sale Price + GST

Total cost of jersey = $200+$210

Total cost of jersey = $210

Option A is correct option
