Answer 1

Answer: $2.11

Explanation:

A customer brings a bag of chips with a regular price of $2.19 to the register which is marked down 10% the price to pay will be:

= $2.19 - (10% × $2.19)

= $2.19 - $0.219

= $1.971

After a 7% sales tax on the final price, the amount paid by the customer will be:

= $1.971 + (7% × $1.971)

= $1.971 + $0.13797

= $2.11
