Question

$7.50 admission; 20% off; 5.75% tax

Answer 1

$6.65

Explanation:

Discount = Original Price x Discount %/100

Discount = 7.5 × 20/100

Discount = 7.50 x 0.20

You save = $1.50

Original Price - Discount

7.50 - 1.50=

$6.00

You still have to add the tax:

5.75 = 0.0575

0.0575 x 7.50=

$0.65

Add $0.65 to your discount and you get the answer

$6.65

Answer 2

Below is the solution:

Find the discount.
20% of $ 7.50 = 0.2 x 7.5 = 1.5

Subtract the discount from the regular price.
$ 7.50 - $ 1.5 = $6

The sale price of the admission is $6. Find the sales tax.
5.75% of $6 = 0.0575 x 6 = 0.345

Add the sales tax to the sale price.
$6 +$0.35 = $6.35

So, the admission price including tax is $6.35.
