Question

A desk was originally priced at $80 but went on sale for 50% off. If Kimi bought the desk and paid 5% sales tax, how much did she pay in total?

Answer 1

$42

50% of any number is just like halving it so half of 80 is 40

5% of 40 is 2

Add 40 and 2 together to get your final answer: 40+2=42
