Question

On November 1st, Halloween candy is discounted 40%. If the original price of a bag of candy corn was $5, what is the final price of the candy, including the discount and a 10% sales tax?
$2.20
$2.50
$2.60
$3.30

Answer 1

Answer:

$2.20

Step-by-step explanation:

40% converted to decimal is 0.4.

$5 × 0.4 = $2

10% converted to decimal is 0.1.

Because the tax is increasing the price by a percentage you add a 1 to the 0.1.

1.1 × $2 = $2.20
