Answer/Step-by-step explanation:
Square all three numbers. If the largest number squared is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two, then the numbers form a Pythagorean triple.
<u><em>or</em></u>
Since a Pythagorean triple is three positive integers a, b, and c such that (a^2)+(b^2)=(c^2), first take the sum of the squares of the two legs and make an estimate. For example, 3, 4, and 5 is a Pythagorean triple since 9+16=25
<u><em>either one works</em></u>

Part A:
Price before tax: $49.99
Discount: 50% of $49.99 = 50% * $49.99 = 0.50 * $49.99 = $25.00
Discounted price: $49.99 - $25.00 = $24.99
Tax on discounted price: 8% of $24.99 = 8% * $24.99 = 0.08 * $24.99 = $2.00
Part B:
Total price: $24.99 + $2.00 = $26.99
