Problem - 954
The sales tax rate in Bergville is 6%. During a sale at the Bergville Coat Closet, the price of a coat is discounted 20% from its \$90.00 price. Two clerks, Jack and Jill, calculate the bill independently. Jack rings up \$90.00 and adds 6% sales tax, then subtracts 20% from this total. Jill rings up \$90.00, subtracts 20% of the price, then adds 6% of the discounted price for sales tax. What is Jack's total minus Jill's total?
