Question

Shania wants to purchase a book bag with an original price of $28.00. The store has a sales tax of six percent and is offering a 20% discount. Her mom wants her to determine the actual price before they go to the store. Which price is correct?

Answer 1

I do not see a correct answer posted...see below

Explanation:

20 % OFF means you pay 80 % ( 80% is .80 in decimal)

.80 * 28 = $ 22.40 after discount (before tax)

now you need to add the 6% tax

.06 * 22.40 = 1.34 added to the 22.40 = $ 23.74 AFTER TAX
