Question

Kelli buys a new backpack for $35. There is a 20% discount and a 7% tax. What will be the final cost of the backpack?

Answer 1

First find the discount

35 * 20 %

35*.2

7

Subtract the discount from the price

35-7

28

Now find the tax on the new price

28* 7%

Add the tax to the new price

28+1.96

29.96
