A lawn mower was originally priced at $450 but went on sale for 20% off. If Maurice bought the lawn mower and paid 5% sales tax, how much did he pay in for the lawn mower?

Answer:

$378

Explanation:

Full price: 1.00($450) = $450

20% off: 0.20($450) = $90

Sale price (after 20% off): (1.00 - 0.20)($450) = 0.80($450) = $360

Final price, including tax: (1.00 + 0.05)($360) = $378
