Question

Darias bought 5 school binders that cost $8.00 per

binder. If a back-to-school discount of 40% was
applied to his purchase, and then a 6% sales tax was
added, what was the total cost of the binders?

Answer 1

$25.44

Explanation:

First, find the original cost of the binders:

5(8)

= $40

Find the cost with the 40% discount:

40(0.6)

= $24

Find the cost with the 6% sales tax:

24(1.06)

= $25.44

So, the total cost of the binders was $25.44
