Question

A trampoline was originally priced at $100 but went on sale for 60% off. If Emmett bought the trampoline and paid 5% sales tax, how much did he pay in total? $

Answer 1

Answer: $42

Explanation:

Since the trampoline was originally priced at $100 but went on sale for 60%, the price paid will be:

= $100 - (60% × $100)

= $100 - (0.6 × $100)

= $100 - $60

= $40

Emmett bought the trampoline and then paid 5% sales tax, the total amount paid will be:

= $40 + (5% × $40)

= $40 + (0.05 × $40)

= $40 + $2.

= $42

She paid $42 in total.
