Question

1. Sam bought a camera that originally cost $150.00, but was on sale for 25% off. Sales tax was 6%. How much did he pay for the camera?

A. $121.50

B. $119.25

C. $112.50

D. $156.50

Answer 1

B $119.25

Explanation:

150 decrease 25% =

150 × (1 - 25%) = 150 × (1 - 0.25) = 112.5

112.5 increase 6% =

112.5 × (1 + 6%) = 112.5 × (1 + 0.06) = 119.25
