Question

Elena went to a sporting goods store that was having a sale. She bought a tennis ball and 3 cans of tenis balls The tennis racket normally cost $43. All tenis rackets are marked down 15%. One can of tens balls normally cost $4. The tenis balls are not marked down. The sales tax rate is 8.5% How much will she pay for everything including tax?

Answer 1

Answer: She will pay $52.68, including taxes

Explanation: One can of tennis ball is $4 and there are no discount on it. Elena bought 3 cans, so:

can = 3 x 4 = 12

One tennis racket is $43 but it has a discount of 15%:

discount = 0.15 x 43 = 6.45

total racket = 43 - 6.45 = 36.55

Elena will have to pay:

pay = 12 + 36.55 = 48.55

She will also have to pay taxes, which are 8.5% over the price she paid:

pay + tax = 48.55 x 0.085 = 4.13

total to pay = 48.55 + 4.13 = 52.68

Buying 3 can of tennins ball and one racket, Elena paid $52.68, including taxes.
