Question

HELP! Jameson works as a cashier in a music store. A customer wants to pay

for a CD that is on sale for 15% off the regular price of $18,00
15% off
Rock 'N' Roll
greatest HITS
The cash register is broken, and Jameson must calculate the price of the
CD using only a calculator
a. What is the sale price of the CD? Show or explain how you got your
answer
b. Jameson needs to add 6%
sales tax to the sale price of the CD. What
should Jameson charge the customer for the CD, including tax? Show
or explain how you got your answer.
c. The customer told Jameson that he could get the same answer and
save time by just taking 9% off the regular price of the CD, because
15% -6% is 9%. Is the customer right? Explain your reasoning.

LOOK AT PIC FOR HELP!
thanks
