Question

Tyrese wants to buy baseball cards. They cost $5.00 per pack. There is a 25% discount before tax if 10 or more packs are purchased. Sales tax is 7%. If Tyrese buys 15 packs of cards, how much does he pay?

Answer 1

72.225 $

Explanation:

The price per pack: 5.00 $

When the amount of packs is > 10 :

90 % * 5 $ = 4.50 $ before tax.

The price of 15 packs:

4.50 $ * 15 = 45 + 22.5 = 67.5 $ before tax.

After tax:

107 % * 67.5 $ = 72.225 $ after tax.
