Question

Find the sale price to the nearest cent. $4.30 makeup; 40% discount; 6% tax

Answer 1

Answer:

Sale price is $2.58.

Paid with tax is $2.73

Step-by-step explanation:

If the make-up is originally $4.30 and you receive a 40% discount. This means you'll pay 60% of the price since 100-40=60.

To find this price, 60% as 0.6 is multplied with the price. 0.6*4.30 = $2.58

This is the sale price.

When you pay you will pay 6% tax or 0.06 of the price. Find this by multiplying $2.58 by 1.06.

2.58(1.06) = $2.73
