Question

Jesse buys a necklace that is on sale for 25% off the original price is 119.50 if tax is 7% what is the total price that Jesse will pay for the necklace

Answer 1

$95.89875

Explanation:

The original price of the necklace is 119.5. And we are subtracting 25% from this. 119.5 - 25% = 119.5 - 1/4 since 25% is 25/100 which is also 1/4.

So without tax, the price of the necklace is 119.5 - 29.875 which is 89.625.

The tax is 7%. So we should add 89.625 to 7%. This is complicated, but it should result in 95.89875.

If we round this to the nearest cent, it should be $95.9.
