Question

.A bicycle normally sells for $475. The bicycle was discounted 30% for a

sale. After the sale was over, the new price of the bicycle was 25%
higher than the sale price. What was the new price of the bicycle?

Answer 1

$415.63

Explanation:

475

after 30%

475 times .30 = 142 5

475 - 142.5 = 332.5 <- sale price

332.5 times .25 = 83.125

332.5 + 83.125 = 415.625 <- new price

Answer 2

415.63

Explanation:

Multiply the price by the sales tax to find out how much money the sales tax will add.
