Question

Jaylen decided to buy a new digital camera that retails for $199. If the store is currently running a promotion on all cameras for 25% off, and the sales tax in her state is 6%, what is jaylen’s total at checkout ?

Answer 1

So 25% of $199 is $49.75. If you subtract the promotion off you get 199-49.75=149.25. Then the sales tax is 6% so you take the new cost $149.25 and multiply it by .06 which equals 8.955. so then you add on the tax so $149.25+8.955=$158.205. Your answer is $158.205 or approximately $158.21
