Question

Shannon buys a table that was priced $700. There is a 8% sales tax in her state. Fortunately, it was 60% off! So she only paid

Answer 1

Total paid: 302.40

Explanation:

Price x percent off = amount off

700 x .60 (60%) = 420 amount off

price - amount off = sales price

700 - 420 = 280 sales price

sales price x sales tax rate = sales tax

280 x .08 (8%) = 22.40 sales tax

sales price + sales tax = total paid

280 + 22.40 = 302.40 total paid
