Question 998651: Ellen wants to purchase a book that is regularly priced at $18. The book is discounted 15%. She also needs to pay a 6% sales tax on the discounted price. Answer by addingup(3677) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! 18-(.15*18)= discounted price (DP). First multiply, then subtract.
---------------------
DP+(.06*DP)= discounted price + tax
