Question

It's for middle School PLZZZZ HELPPPP.

Lauren and her brother are buying their mom a watch for her birthday. The original price of the watch is $50, but the store is having a 25% off sale on watches. The sales tax in Lauren’s state is 6%.

How much will Lauren and her brother pay for the watch including tax? How much will each sibling pay if they split the cost equally?

Answer 1

1. $37.5 without tax

2. Split bill with tax: $19.88

3. Split bill withput tax: $18.25

Explanation:

Make an equation first.

y=.25 (50)

This would help solve the amount for the discpunt sale.

The discout is $12.5 off.

50-12.5=37.5

Now we have tp solve for the tax amount.

y=0.06 (37.5)

y=2.25

2.25 is the tax amount.

We have to add these all together to get the answer for part 1.

37.5+2.25= $39.75

Answer 2

$20

Explanation:

To find out sale

50 x .25 = 12.5

To find out tax

37.5 x .06 = 2.25

Then final price

37.5 + 2.25 = 39.75

If they spilt price

$19.88
