Question

You are purchasing office supplies. Because of the volume of your orders your company receives 15% off all purchases. You buy a case of paper for $24.95 and a toner refill at $35.99. You find discontinued ink for $49.95 at 50% off. The local sales tax is 4.5%.What did you spend?
$73.03


$76.32


$85.92


$89.78

Answer 1

 First add 24.95 and 35.99. You get 60.94 (Remember This!)

Now you take 49.95 divided by 2. you should get: 24.975.

add 24.975 with 60.94. You get 85.915

take 85.915 and multiply it by 0.15. You get 12.88725. 

Subtract 85.915 by 12.88725. You should get 73.02775.

Now multiply that by 0.045. you should get 3.28624875. 

Add that onto 73.02775, and you get 76.31399875.

Round that to the nearest hundredth, and your done! (The answer is: 76.31!) 

The answer will be the B.
