Answer 1

Answer:

The 10% off sale will save Melissa $10.49.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

The listed price of the camera is $195.99.

The camera is no sale for 10% off and Melissa has a coupon for 5% off the sales tax is 7%.

Now, to find the money Melissa will save of the 10% off sale.

So, to get the price of camera of the 5% off sale:

$(195.99-5\%\ of\ 195.99)$

$=(195.99-\frac{5}{100}\times 195.99)$

$=(195.99-9.80)$

$=186.19$

Now, adding the sales tax:

$186.19+7\%\ of\ 186.19$

$=186.19+\frac{7}{100} \times 186.19$

$=186.19+13.03$

$=199.22$

Thus, the price is $199.22.

Now, to get the price of 10% off sale:

$195.99-10\%\ of\ 195.99$

$=195.99-\frac{10}{100} \times 195.99$

$=176.39$

So, adding sales tax:

$176.39+7\%\ of\ 176.39$

$=176.39+\frac{7}{100} \times 176.39$

$=188.73$

Hence, the price is $188.73.

Now, to get the money 10% off sale will save Melissa:

$199.22-188.73$

$=10.49$

Therefore, the 10% off sale will save Melissa $10.49.
