Answer 1

Answer

Find out the what is the total cost of the leash .

To prove

As given

Kirk finds a dog leash with a price tag of $24 at a pet store.

The leash is 10% off the original price.

He must also pay 6% sales tax.

10 % is written in the decimal form.

$= \frac{10}{100}$

= 0.1

6% is written in the decimal form.

$= \frac{6}{100}$

= 0.06

Than the discount on the original price = 0.1 × 24

                                                                 = $2.4

Than the sales price = 0.06 × 24

                                  = $1.44

Total cost of the leash = 24 - 2.4 + 1.44

                                    = $23.04

Therefore  total cost of the leash is $23.04 .
