Question

Rick is buying $115 tennis racket from a sporting good store. If the racket is on sale for 35% off in sales tax is 8% how much will he pay in total

Answer 1

$80.73

Explanation:

First, find 35% of 115.

35% as a decimal is 0.35 (35/100)

0.35 x 115 = 40.25

Now, subtract 40.25 from 115.

115 - 40.25 = 74.75

Now, to find the sales tax, find 8% of 74.75.

8% as a decimal is 0.08 (8/100)

0.08 x 74.75 = 5.98

Now, subtract add 5.98 to 74.75

5.98 + 74.75 = 80.73
