Question

Jasmine bought a desk originally priced at $100 but on sale for 75% off. After 8% sales tax, what was the total cost?

Answer 1

$27

Explanation:

75 percent of 100 is 25, which you can find by multiplying 0.75 x 100. You can multiply 25 by 0.08 to find 8 percent of 25, and then add 25 to what you get. 8 percent of 25 is 2, so 25 + 2 = 27.

I hope this helped :)
