48 * .5 = 24

24 the amount of money discounted off the price

Therefore it would be 48 - 24 = 24, but then comes the sales tax.

Do 24 * .045 = 1.08

1.08 is the amount of tax owed on the game so you'd do

24 + 1.08 = 25.08


A) The total cost for the game is 25.08


B) Unfortunately he is short by 8 cents and won't be able to buy the video game he wants.
