Question

Charlotte buys a $50 tent. If it is 5% off, how much will she pay?

Answer 1

Answer:

County A: Multiply the price by the sales tax to find out how much money the sales tax will add. Remember to convert percent to decimal!

$75 * 0.0725 = $5.4375

Add the original price and the sales tax.

$75 + $5.4375 = $80.4375

County B: Multiply the price by the sales tax to find out how much money the sales tax will add. Remember to convert percent to decimal!

$70 * 0.08 = $5.6

Add the original price and the sales tax.

$70 + $5.6 = $75.6

Then take the difference.

80.4375 – 75.6 = 4.8375

Round to the nearest hundredth: $4.84

Answer 2

Answer:

$47.5

Step-by-step explanation:

So, 5% of 50

= 5/100 × 50

= 2.5

So, she will pay = $(50 - 2.5)

= $47.5
