Question

Ramon bought a Japanese maple tree during the 40% off sale. The tree originally cost $185. If the sales tax on the tree was 6% how much did Raymond pay

Answer 1

ill show you the steps so you can do it later. STEP 1) multiply .40 and 185 and you get 74 STEP 2) subtract 185 - 70 and you get 115 STEP 3) multiply 115 by 1.06 *you always add sales tax to 100 then convert it into decimals* and you get $121.90 which is your answer
