Question

An $80 printer is selling for 37.5% off. Find the final price of the printer if sales tax is 9%

Answer 1

37.5 as a decimal: 0.375

This means that 0.375 x 80 will be taken off.

0.375 x 80 = 30

This means that the printer is $30 off.

So, the printer is selling for 50.

Now, since sales tax is going to be 9% over the price of $50, we multiply the price by 1.09.

50 x 1.09 = 54.5

Final price will me $54.50

Answer 2

Answer:

$54.50 would be your answer

Step-by-step explanation:

$80 as a decimal is 0.80

This means that 37.5 x 0.80 which is 30 will be taken off,  so the printer is $30 off.

$80 - 30 off, so the pirinter sells for $50

sales tax is  9% on the price of $50, so multiply 50 by 1.09.

50 x 1.09 = 54.5

Therefore the final price is  $54.50
