Question

Alice is buying a

bicycle that regularly
cost $120. It is on
sale for 25% off and
the tax rate is 9.125%.

is the final amount cheaper or more expensive than the original price?

Answer 1

NO

the final amount is 98.21 which is less than 120

Explanation:

Price after discount = $120 x (100 - 25%)

$120 x 0.75 = $90

tax = $90 x 0.09125 = $8,21

final amount = $90 + 8.21 = 98.21
