Answer:

102.144

Explanation:

128 times 0.25 = 32

128 - 32 = 96

96 times 1.064 = 102.144

She will need to pay 102.144

Answer:

To do this, you need to find the amount of discount of the original price. To find a percent of a number you first convert the percent to a decimal (i.e. 25% = 0.25). Then you multiply this decimal by the original price. Therefore, the sale price is $17.21. If example.
