Question

1. Find the selling price of each item.

a. Original price of a truck: $17,100.00 Tax: 2%
Discount: 35%

Answer 1

Explanation:

I am assuming the discount comes before the tax...so I am figuring it that way.

if ur getting 35% off, then ur actually paying 65% of the total price

65% of 17,100 = 0.65(17,100) = 11,115....this is with the discount, without the tax

so tax is 2%.....

2% of 11,115 = 0.02(11,115) = 222.30...this is the tax

total price = 11,115 + 223.30 = $ 11,337.30 <===
