Question

What is the value of z?

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Item 1:

Discount = Original price - discount price

             = 22.50 - 13.50

             = $ 9

Discount percentage = $\frac{9}{22.50}*100$

                                   = 40%

Discount percentage = 40%

Tax = 14.31 - 13.50 = $0.81

Tax% = $\frac{0.81}{13.50}*100$  = 6%

Tax percentage = 6%

Item 2:

Tax = 6% of 16.20

      = 0.06 * 16.20

      = 0.972

Tax = $ 0.97

Total price (including tax )= 16.20 + 0.97 = $ 17.17

         x = $ 17.17

Item 3:

Discount  = 40% of 32.50

                        = 0.4 * 32.50

                        = $ 13

y =  32.50 -13

y = $ 19. 50

Tax = 6% of 19.50

       = 0.06 * 19.50

       = 1.17

z = 1.17 + 19.50

Z  =$ 20.67
