Question

Marcc saved $500 of his summer job money for a new pair of shoes to start the school year. The steppers he wanted were regular price 570, but they were on sale for 30% off. After a sales tax of 6% was added. what was the final price? How much money does Marcc have left over?

Answer 1

Answer: Final Price=$422.94 and the money left over is $77.06

Explanation:

start by multiplying the full price of 570 by 0.3 (sale of 30%) = 570*0.3=171

subtract the sale from the original price= $570-171=$399

multiply the sales tax by discounted price= $399*0.06=$23.94

add the sales tax to discounted price= $399+$23.94= $422.94

final price= $422.94

subtract the final price from 500= 500-422.94=77.06
