Answer 2

$23

Explanation:

You want to know the final cost of headphones priced at $50 after a 60% discount and 15% tax.

Multiplier

Each percentage change can be computed by expressing it as a multiplier. A percentage change of p is equivalent to a multiplier of (1 +p).

A 60% discount multiplies the price by (1 -60%) = 0.40.

A 15% tax multiplies the price by (1 +15%) = 1.15.

The final price of the headphones is ...

($50)(0.40)(1.15) = $23

Mitchell's total cost is $23.
