Question

John received $300 for his birthday he buys 4 DVDs at $12.95 each. Sales tax is 6.5% how much birthday money does he have left

Answer 1

Answer: $244.83

Step-by-step explanation:

First find the original amount spent on dvds:

    $12.95 * 4 = $51.80

Then, the sales tax (6.5% is converted to decimal form by dividing by 100):

    $51.80 * 0.065 = $3.367

Add the sales tax to the original amount to get the total amount spent:

    $51.80 + $3.367 = $55.167

Round to the nearest hundredth:

    $55.167 -> $55.17

Subtract the total amount from the money received for his birthday:

    $300 - $55.17 = $244.83
