Question

Sara bought a computer that was originally priced at $896. The computer was on sale for %12 off. When she bought the computer, a %7 sales tax was added to the sale price. How much did sara spend on the computer?

Answer 1

$733.29. Simply because you take $896•0.12 to find the 12% off and then you take that subtracted by the starting total. After you get the 12% off then you multiply that number by .07 to get the sales tax. After you find that then you add the number you got after multiplying to the number you got after taking off the 12%.
