Question

Maggie bought a $10 book, a $14 book, and

a $4 magazine. The store was having a sale on
their books only - all books were marked down
20%. If the sales tax rate is 10%, what will
Maggie's total cost be after the discounts and
tax?

Answer 1

$25.52

Explanation:

10*.2=2

14*.2=2.8

10-2=8

14-2.8=11.2

11.2+8+4=23.2

23.2*.1=2.32

23.2+2.32=25.52

Answer 2

Explanation:

1.1(.8(10)+.8(14)+4)

1.1(8+11.2+4)

1.1(23.2)

$25.52
