Answer 1

Answer:

See below

Step by step explanation:

Here it is given that , the price of a ticket is $42.99 before tax . And he got a discount of 40% . So the cost after discount will be ,

$\longrightarrow Cost = \ 42.99 - \ 42.99\times \dfrac{40}{100}$

Simplify ,

$\longrightarrow Cost = \ 42.99 - \ 17.196$

$\longrightarrow Cost = \ 25.79$

Again it is given that he paid a tax of 7% on the discounted price . So the tax paid in dollars will be ,

$\longrightarrow Tax = 7\% \ of \ \ 25.79$

Simplify ,

$\longrightarrow Tax = \dfrac{7}{100}\times \ 25.79$

$\longrightarrow \underline{\underline{ Tax =\ 1.80 }}$

Answer of Part A : He paid a sales tax of $1.80 .

Now the total amount paid can be calculated by adding sales tax to the cost after discount .

$\longrightarrow Total\ Amount = \ 25.79 +\ 1.80$

Add ,

$\longrightarrow \underline{\underline{ Total \ Amount = \ 27.59}}$

Answer of Part B : The total amount paid by Ronald for ticket is $27.59 .
