Question

Please help!.... 7th grade math..

Addison purchased train tickets to go visit her family in New York. The original cost of the train ticket is $256.00 The train company is offering 15% off the cost of the ticket. They also charge a 7.65% sales tax on the discounted price. What is the final cost of her train ticket, including tax?

Answer 1

$234.25 the tax is 7.65% so I think it’s adding more.

Answer 2

$234.25

Explanation:

$256.00(0.15) = $217.60

$217.60(0.0765) = $16.65

217.60 + 16.65 = $234.25

Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.
