Question

Dora bought a bottle of nail polish that was marked down by 20 percent from its original price of $4.50. Including a 9 percent sales tax, what is the final cost of the bottle of nail polish?

Answer 1

Answer:

3.92$

Step-by-step explanation:

The first step is to deduct 20% of 4.50 from 4.50.

20% of 4.50 is 0.2 x 4.50 = .90

4.50 - 0.90 = 3.60

That's the new price without the sales tax.

Now we need to add 9% of 3.60 to 3.60 to get the final cost.

9% of 3.60 is .09 x 3.60 = 0.32

3.60 + .32 = $3.92

Answer 2

Answer:

$3.92

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello! For this question we need to gather up all the facts before we could answer it!

The original nail polish cost was $4.50

But the bottle was marked down by 20%

Then has a sales tax of 9%

So let's multiply 4.50 x 0.2 = 0.9

With that we need to subtract off of the original price because it is decreasing.

4.50 - 0.9 = 3.60

But that is not the final price because the bottle has a sales tax! We need to multiply the price after the 20% mark down, so, 3.60 x 0.09 = 0.324

And Then because we are dealing with money, we are going to make sure that we are only adding a decimal that goes up to the hundredths place.

Add: 3.60 + 0.32 = 3.92

The Final price of the nail polish that Dora bought would be $3.92. Which is actually a 0.58 cents drop!

I hope this helped!
