Answer:

  $43.20

Step-by-step explanation:

The price with tax is 100% + 8% = 1.08 times the price before tax. The discount multplies that price by 100% -20% = 0.80. The discount multiplier is the same whether the discount is applied before or after the tax.

The combined effect of the two multipliers is ...

... 1.08 × 0.80 = 0.864

so the discounted price with tax added is 0.864 × $50 = $43.20

_____

Perhaps you're supposed to figure the tax (8% of $50 = $4), add the tax ($50 +4 = $54), then subtract the discount (20% of $54 = $10.80) to get

  $54.00 -10.80 = $43.20

17/9 15 divided 6 divided 30 divided and 3^3 from least to greatest
qaws [65]

I assume you mean: Order the following from least to greatest:

17/9, 15 divided by 6, 30, and 3^3

17/9 = 1 8/9

15/6 = 2 1/2

3^3 = 9

So it would be: 17/9, 15 divided by 6, 3^3, and 30

Make necessary adjustments if it was actually 6/30; the wording was confusing.
