Step 1: Find the sales price

The surfboard was marked down 40% of its original price, $521.28.

0.40(521.28) = 208.512

521.28 - 208.512 = 312.768

Step 2: Find the final price

We add the tax on the sales price, not the original price. The tax is 10% in this case.

0.10(312.768) = 31.2768

312.768 + 31.2768 = 344.0448

Final price = $344.04

---I did not round until the end in this case, but rounding at every step leads to an answer of $344.05

Hope this helps!

Answer:

$375.32

Explanation:

100% - 40% = 80%

80/100 = 0.8 (multiplier)

521.28 x 0.8 = 417.024

417.024 to 417.02 (2 d.p.)

100 - 10 = (ans)/100 = 0.9

417.02 x 0.9 = 375.318

$375.32
