8/11, 7/9, 0.79, 4/5, 84%
The answer should be X<7! You start by add the 6, then dividing my -3! When you divide by a negative you change the sign!
Answer:
![Total = \$103.20](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=Total%20%3D%20%5C%24103.20)
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
![Amount =\$160](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=Amount%20%3D%5C%24160)
--- first discount
--- second discount
![Sales\ Tax = 7.5\%](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=Sales%5C%20Tax%20%3D%207.5%5C%25)
Required
Determine the amount paid
First, we add the total discount:
![D = D_1 + D_2](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=D%20%3D%20D_1%20%20%2B%20D_2)
![D = 30\% + 10\%](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=D%20%3D%2030%5C%25%20%2B%2010%5C%25)
![D = 40\%](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=D%20%3D%2040%5C%25)
If she got a discount of 40%, then she paid 60% (i.e. 100% - 40%)
So:
![Amount = 60\% * \$160](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=Amount%20%3D%2060%5C%25%20%2A%20%5C%24160)
![Amount = \$96](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=Amount%20%3D%20%5C%2496)
Calculate the sales tax
![Sales\ Tax = 7.5\% * \$96](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=Sales%5C%20Tax%20%3D%207.5%5C%25%20%2A%20%5C%2496)
![Sales\ Tax = \$7.2](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=Sales%5C%20Tax%20%3D%20%5C%247.2)
![Total = \$96 + \$7.2](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=Total%20%3D%20%5C%2496%20%2B%20%5C%247.2)
![Total = \$103.20](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=Total%20%3D%20%5C%24103.20)
