Question

Megan bought 50 beads for $9.95. she received a 10% discount, she paid a sales tax of 6%. how much did she pay fro the beads

Answer 1

$9.49; 10% of $9.95 is $0.995 which rounds up to a dollar; $9.95 - $1.00 = $8.95; 6% of $8.95 = $0.537 which rounds up to $0.54, so total paid is $8.95 + $0.54 = $9.49.
