Pete wants to buy a new gaming controller that is on sale. The controller costs $105 and is on sale for 35% off. If the sales tax is 10.1%, how much will he pay for the controller?

The final price is: $_________

Answer 1

The final Price is: $75.14

Explanation:

you first have to do -=- which means /105=35%/100

then you would do 105x35=3675/100=36.75

then Subtract 105-36.75=68.25.

The next step is to do -=- /68.25=10.1%/100

you would multiply 68.25 and 10.1 and get 689.325 the you would divided that by 100 and get 6.89325 then you would add 68.25 and 6.89325 and get 75.14.
