Question

Kylie goes to a store an buys an item that costs x x dollars. She has a coupon for 30% off, and then a 4% tax is added to the discounted price. Write an expression in terms of x x that represents the total amount that Kylie paid at the register.

Answer 1

1) XX x .30 = D

2) XX - D = XX

3) XX x 1.04 = XX

Example: $20

$20 x .30 = 6

$20 - $6 = $14

$14 x 1.04 = $14.56
