Answer: 770.78

you start with 943 you have to take out 13% of 943 from 943 then take 6% of that number of it.

Explanation:

First, let's convert the percentages to decimals

13%= 0.13

6%=0.06

Now we can do the big brain stuff...

943*0.13=122.59

943-122.59=820.41

820.41*0.06=49.2246

820-49.2246=770.7754

If you want this quantity in money then round it to the nearest hundredth

770.7754 ~=~ 770.78
