Question

A boogie board that normally sells for $69 is on sale at a 35% discount. If the sales tax is 8%, what is the total cost of the boogie board including tax?

Answer 1

since it’s 35% off, but there’s a 8% tax,
35 - 8 = 27%

You get a 27% discount.

69 x 0.27 = 18.63

The total cost is $18.63

Answer 2

Answer: $48.44 total after tax

Explanation:

69 - 35 + 8

69 • 0.35 = 24.15

69 - 24.15 = 44.85

44.85 • 0.08 = 3.588 rounded is 3.59

44.85 + 3.59 = 48.44

So you’re total would be $48.44
