Question

A trampoline was originally priced at $100 but went on sale for 60% off. If Emmett bought the trampoline and paid 5% sales tax how much did he pay in total

Answer 1

$42

Explanation:

With 60% off, the price is just 40% of the original price.

discounted price = 40% of $100 = 0.4 × $100 = $40

Add tax to the discounted price:

$40 + 5% of $40 = $40 + 0.05 × $40 = $40 + $2 = $42
