</u>
The total cost of the skate board is $74.61.
<u>SOLUTION:
</u>
Given, Luis wants to buy a skateboard that usually sells for $79.99. all merchandise is discounted by 12%. luis has to pay a state sales tax of 6.75%.
We need to find what is the total cost of the skateboard.
Final cost is nothing but original amount subtracted by discount and added with tax.
final cost = original cost – discount + sales tax
Original cost = $79.99
Discount = 12% of original cost

discount is $9.6 approximately
Sales tax = 6% of cost after discounting

Sales tax is $4.22 approximately
Now, final cost = 79.99 – 9.6 + 4.22
= 84.21 - 9.6
= 74.61
Hence, the total cost of the skate board is $74.61
The easiest way to think of these is to put them in terms of percentages. Obviously, if you are SAVING 25%, you are SPENDING 75%. So if she SPENDS 13.50, we can easily use the 75% in an equation. $13.50 = .75x, with x being what the shoes cost originally. The .75 indicates that she is spending 75% of what the original cost is. You don't have any examples to pick from, but this is the best way to explain what one of the equations could be. You could also base it on money saved, but the equation is not quite as neat.
We have to find LCM of 12,14,16
Refer to the attachment
LCM=2×2×2×2×3×7=16×21=336years
5 (7) - 3 (-8)
35 - -24
Because two negatives equal a positive the subtraction sign will change into an addition sign.
35+24
So your answer will be 59.
Hope this helped :)
