Question

Alfredo bought a fishing pole for 60%

off its original price of $97. If the tax
was 4% (of the sale price), how much
did Alfredo pay for the fishing pole?
Don't forget to round to the nearest cent!

Answer 1

$40.35

Explanation:

the pole is 60% off so we only pay 40% of the pole

97*.40=38.80

38.80*.04=1.55 <---tax

38.80+1.55=40.35
