Question

15. Fatima bought a video game that has a

regular price of $45. The game was on
sale for 15 percent off, and she paid
sales tax of 7 percent. What was the
price Fatima paid for the video game?

Answer 1

Explanation:

Discount = 15% of 45

`=(15)/(100)*45\\\\=(675)/(100)=6.75`

= $6.75

Price of the video game = 45 - 6.75 = $38.25

Tax = 7%of 38.25

`=(7)/(100)*38.25\\\\=(267.75)/(100)=2.6775`

Price paid by Fatima for the video game = 38.25 + 2.68 = $ 40.93
