Answer:
-14
Step-by-step explanation:
(-6)(2)= -12
(-8÷4)= -2
-12+(-2)= -14
First, lets determine the regular price of his purchase :
16.99 (3) + 34.99 (3) + 52.99 (2) + 5.99 (5) = 50.97 + 104.97 + 105.98 + 29.95 = 291.87
Therefore, the regular price of his purchase is $291.87 before sales tax.
If he receives 25% off of his total purchase, then the price is now :
291.87 * .75 = $218.90
We multiply by 75% because we are only paying 75% of the total purchase price since we received a 25% discount.
The total savings is
291.87 - 218.90 = $72.97
If sales tax is 10%, the total purchase price after sales tax is :
218.90 * 1.10 = $240.79
The sales tax is $21.89 since
240.79 -218.90 = 21.89
If he pays with 3 $100 bills, we should receive :
300 - 240.79 = $59.21
in change.
