A picnic table was originally priced at 40, but Megan waited to buy the picnic table on sale from 75% off. If she paid 10% sale tax on the sale price, how much did she spend total?

Answer:

she spent total price of 13 on the picnic table

Explanation:

Original price of the table = 40

Since she paid 10% of the sale tax after the sale then the total amount she spend is

Discount = (discount percentage – sale tax ) × original price

= (75% -10%) × 40

= 65 % ×40

=
(65)/(100) * 40

=26

Hence after the discount amount

Original price – discount price

= 40-26 = 13

Hence she spent total price of 13 on the picnic table
