Question 741098: I am having issues with a word problem. Hoping someone could help me please.
A new book that normally costs $20.00 is discounted by 30% What will be the final price of the book if the sales tax is 6.5%? Answer by only4christ2(12) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! First, you need to find out the amount of discount. Multiply 20 * 30% which is 20 * .30 = $6. Subtract this from 20 and you get $14. Next, multiply: 14 * 6.5% to get the amount of tax. So, 14 * .065 = .91. Add this amount to $14 to get the final price: $14 + .91 = $14.91
