You recently purchased a new snowboard for the upcoming winter. The board, with bindings, came out to be $315.32. You were told
that the store was running a sale on the make and model of snowboard that you purchased and, because you were a member of the shop, you received an additional discount. If the store discount on the make and model of board that you purchased is 15% and the shop member discount is 5%, then determine the original price of the item. Round your answer to the nearest cent.
First the original price is reduced by 15% assume the original price is x 100%-15%=85%..u r left with 85% of the price thus,85/100 multiply x the reduced price is reduced again by 5% so,95/100 ×(85/100 x)=$315.32 find x 323/400 x =$315.32 ×=$390.49
6%=0.06 if you want to know how much he paid for the sales taxes you multiply 7.5 by 0.06 7.5 . 0.06= 0.45 7.5+0.45=7.95 8>7.95 Jay have enough money to buy the book
