Question

You go to the electronics store to buy 3 CDs. Each CD's original cost is $9.99. You have a coupon for 10% off and the sales tax is 6%. What is your total purchase cost?

Answer 1

$28.77

Explanation:

What you do is the coupon for 10% off first which equaled 2.997, but you have to round to $3.00.

You minus 3*9.99 which equals $29.97 and $3.00 to get $26.97.

You then times $29.97 by 6% to get 1.80.

You then add it to $26.97.

You get $28.77.
