Question

Alfredo bought a fishing pole for 60% off it’s original price of $97. If the tax was 4% ( of the sale price), how much did Alfredo pay for the fishing pole?

Answer 1

40.4

Explanation:

Well...you see, 60% of $97 is equal to 58.2. you can get this by multiplying 97 by 0.60.

so subtract 97 by 58.2 and you will get 38.8, now you will add the tax which is and extra add-on to the prices full value

and it's a 4% tax so you will add for percent to 38.8,

basically multiply 38.8 times 0.04 and you will get 1.6 which you will have to add the your amount to get 40.4.
