Question

PLZ HELP, IT WOULD MEAN THE WORLD

A television was originally priced at $522, but Sam waited to buy it until the television was on sale for 50% off. If
he paid 8% sales tax on the sale price, how much did he pay in total?

Answer 1

$281.88

Explanation:

Solve for 50% of $522:

522 × 0.50

261

Solve for sales tax:

261 × 0.08

20.88

Solve for total:

261 + 20.88

281.88
