Question

Darias bought 5 school binders that cost $8.00 per

binder. If a back-to-school discount of 40% was
applied to his purchase, and then a 6% sales tax was
added, what was the total cost of the binders?

Answer 1

$25.44

Explanation:

First, you multiply, 5*8 = $40.00

Then you subtract the discout, 40-40% = $24.00

Lastly, you must add the sales tax, 24+6% = $25.44

The total cost of the binders is $25.44

Answer 2

8 x 5 = 40

40 - 40% = 24

24 + 6% sales tax = 25.44
