Question

(50 points! please help me!)a store was trying to sell a bed set for $475. after a while, the marked the price tag down 35% off . if tax is 5% (of the sale price), how much would the bed set cost?​

Answer 1

$324.19

Explanation:

First, find the price when marked down. Multiply 475 with 0.35:

475 x 0.35 = 166.25

Subtract 166.25 from the total cost:

475 - 166.25 = 308.75

Now, solve for the tax. Tax is 5% (0.05). Multiply 0.05 with the new cost:

308.75 x 0.05 = ~$15.44

Add 15.44 to the sales price:

308.75 + 15.44 = $324.19

$324.19 is your answer.
