Answer:

The student added the discount instead of subtracting the discount.

They also did not calculate the tax correctly.

Step-by-step explanation:

Original price is 499

Discount = original price * percent off

Discount = 499 * .18

               =89.82

The sale price = original price minus the discount

sale price = 499-89.82

sale price = 409.18

Sales tax = sale price * tax rate

                = 409.18 * 8.875%

                =409.18*.08875

                 =36.314725

Rounding to the nearest cent

                     36.31

Final cost = sale price + sales tax

                  =409.18+36.31

                   445.49

The student added the discount instead of subtracting the discount.

They also did not calculate the tax correctly.

Can someone actually answer this question pls its my 3rd time posting it and ill ive gotten was wrong or answers that make no se
andre [41]

Answer:

(-2+-5) equals -7.

Because the signs are the same, we dont change it.

(3+5) equals 8. Same like the other equation, the signs are the same so we do not change it.

Now we do (-7+8) The answer will be 1. Lets use a little graph since its hard to explain.

-8 -7 -6 -5 -4 -3 -2 -1 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8

Mark -7 anyway you want. (Circle it, draw a line under it, what ever you want.)

Now Move the line 8 times.

When you do that your line will stop at 1.

And thats how you do it.
