Answer:

The flip flops cost $25.56 after the discount and tax.

Step-by-step explanation:

A pair of flip flops is $30. This is our starting amount.

The tax will be applied on the price the flip flops are bought for. This means we must apply the discount first.

The discount is 20%. Let's find what the flip flops were sold for.

If the discount is 20%, the flip flops were sold for 80% of their original price. Let's find 80% of 30.

80% of 30 = ?

0.80 • 30 = ?

= 24

The flip flops were sold for $24.

Now we have to apply a 6.5% tax. To find the amount of money added to the total, we need to find 6.5% of 24.

6.5% of 24 = ?

0.065 • 24 = ?

= 1.56

The tax was $1.56.

We need to add the tax to the discounted price.

1.56 + 24 = ?

= 25.56

The flip flops cost $25.56 after the discount and tax.

Hope this helps!

Your friend says that 14.5% is same as the fraction 29/200. explain whether your friend is correct or incorrect by comparing the
OlgaM077 [116]

14.5% = 0.145

Step-by-step explanation:

The term 'percent' (%) actually means per 100. So when you say 14.5% it means 14.5 per 100. So when you put that into an equation it actually means:

So when you solve it, 14.5% is actually 0.145 and not 14.5.

Your friend is then incorrect because:

14.5% ≠ 14.5
