Question

Tucker bought a new speaker priced at $45 and the sales tax is 7%. What is the total cost of the speaker after tax?

Answer 1

Answer:

$48.15

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

The total cost is $41.85


Amount Saved = 45 x 7 / 100
Amount Saved = 315 / 100
Amount Saved = $3.15 (answer).
In other words, a 7% discount for a item with original price of $45 is equal to $3.15 (Amount Saved).
Note that to find the amount saved, just multiply it by the percentage and divide by 100.
