Answer 1

The 10% off sale will save Melissa $10.49.

Explanation:

Given:

The listed price of the camera is $195.99.

The camera is no sale for 10% off and Melissa has a coupon for 5% off the sales tax is 7%.

Now, to find the money Melissa will save of the 10% off sale.

So, to get the price of camera of the 5% off sale:

`(195.99-5\%\ of\ 195.99)`

`=(195.99-(5)/(100)* 195.99)`

`=(195.99-9.80)`

`=186.19`

Now, adding the sales tax:

`186.19+7\%\ of\ 186.19`

`=186.19+(7)/(100) * 186.19`

`=186.19+13.03`

`=199.22`

Thus, the price is $199.22.

Now, to get the price of 10% off sale:

`195.99-10\%\ of\ 195.99`

`=195.99-(10)/(100) * 195.99`

`=176.39`

So, adding sales tax:

`176.39+7\%\ of\ 176.39`

`=176.39+(7)/(100) * 176.39`

`=188.73`

Hence, the price is $188.73.

Now, to get the money 10% off sale will save Melissa:

`199.22-188.73`

`=10.49`

Therefore, the 10% off sale will save Melissa $10.49.
