Question

Bart bought a digital camera with a list price of $219 from an online store offering a 6 percent discount. He needs to pay $7.50 for shipping. What was Bart's total cost?

$205.86
$211.50
$213.36

Answer 1

$213.36 is the total

Answer 2

One way to calculate the price of the digital camera after discount is to subtract 6% from 100% (obtaining 94%) and then taking the appropriate percentage of the full list price: (1.00-0.06)($219) = $205.86.

Now add the $7.50 shipping cost to $205.86: $205.86 + $7.50 = $213.36
