Question

Answer 1

The total of Charlie's be $7.

Explanation:

Given:

Charlie and his friend Jay went to the fair. They were having a sale and the admission was 25% off.

The regular ticket price was $9.00.

And the tax is 6%.

Now, to find Charlie’s total.

So ,we deduct the 25% off first:

`\$9.00-25\%\ of\ \$9.00`

`=9-(25)/(100) * 9`

`=9-(225)/(100)`

`=9-2.25`

`=\$6.75.`

Now, including tax :

`\$6.75+6\%\ of\ \$6.75`

`=6.75+(6)/(100) * 6.75`

`=6.75+0.06* 6.75`

`=6.75+0.405`

`=\$7.155.`

Approximately = $7.

Therefore, the total of Charlie's be $7.
