Question

Buy-O-Mart sells magazines at a 10% discount. What amount will you pay the cashier for a magazine that costs $5.99 and has a sales tax of 4%?

Answer 1

Here's the equation:
0.90(5.99) + 0.04(0.9(5.99))
We can simplify this:
0.90(5.99) + 0.036(5.99)
5.391 + 0.21564
5.60664
We can round:
It will cost about $5.61
