Question

Eileen picks up 5 movies at a movie store and calculates that it will cost her $32.50 before tax. A customer in front of Eileen pays $81.90 after tax. Sales tax is 5%. How many movies did the customer in front of Eileen buy?

Answer 1

15 movies

Explanation:

32.50/5 = 6.50 = price of one movie

Find 5% of 81.90 = 4.095

81.95 - 4.095 = 77.855

77.855/5 = 15.571

Answer 2

$34.125

Explanation:

5% of 32.50 is 1.625

1.625+32.50=34.125

$34.125
