The amount of savings is about $3.15 by buying the vests on sale.

\texttt{ }

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Let's learn about the basic formula about Profit and Loss

\texttt{Profit = Selling Price - Cost Price}

\texttt{Selling Price = Cost Price ( 100\% + Profit\% )}

\texttt{Loss = Cost Price - Selling Price}

\texttt{Selling Price = Cost Price ( 100\% - Loss\% )}

<em>Let us tackle the problem !</em>

\texttt{ }

<em>Fleece vests regularly priced at $15.99. If the sales tax is 5% , then:</em>

\texttt{Regular Price + Tax} = \$15.99 + ($15.99 \times 5\%) = \$ 16.7895

\texttt{ }

<em>Fleece vests are on sale for 12.99$ , then:</em>

\texttt{Discounted Price + Tax} = \$12.99 + ($12.99 \times 5\%) = \$ 13.6395

\texttt{ }

<em>How much can you save by buying the vests on sale?</em>

I can save $16.7895 - $13.6395 = $3.15

\texttt{ }

<h2>Conclusion:</h2>

The amount of savings is about $3.15 by buying the vests on sale.

A new phone costs $230 and the sales tax rate is 7%. What is the total cost of the camera after tax?
rosijanka [135]

That's a question about percentage.

One way to represent percentage is using decimal number. In this way, 1 is equivalent to 100% and the other less percentages using numbers between 0 and 1.

Examples:

  • 90% is equivalent to 0,90.
  • 5% is equivalent to 0.05. It's not 0.5 because 0.5 is equivalent to 50%.
  • 13.17% is equivalent to 0.1317.
  • 245% is equivalent to 2.45.

If we want to know the percentage of a number, we should multiplacate the number by the porcentage in the decimal number form.

Examples:

  • 55.90% of 200 is equal to: 200 \times 0.5590 = 111.8
  • 360% of 88 is equal to: 88\times 3.6 = 316.8

In our problem, we have a phone with a increase of 7%. To solve that, it's important to perceive that $230 is equal to 100% and with a increase of 7%, we will pay 107%.

107% in the decimal number form is 1.07. With that information, we should multiplicate 1.07 by the original value and we will find the answer.

We know that 230\times 1.07 = 246.1, therefore, the total cost of the phone after tax is $246.1.

I hope I've helped. :D

Enjoy your studies. \o/
