Question

In a department store a $40 dress is marked save 25%.You also pay a 7% sales tax. What is the sale price of the dress?

Answer 1

$32.1

Explanation:

First find out what 25% of 40 is:

$40 x .25 = $10

Take the answer and subtract that from the original price:

$40 - $10 = $30

Next, take the sales tax (7% or 0.07) and multiply that by the new price:

$30 x 0.07 = $2.1

Lastly, take the answer and add that to the new price:

$30 + $2.1 = $32.1

Then you would get your answer:

$32.1
