Question

inline skates are on sale for 35% off the regular price

a. What fraction off is this discount?

b. The original price of one pair of inline skates is $124.99. What is
the sale price?


c. A tax of 5% is computed on the sale price. What is the total cost of the inline skates?

Answer 1

a. 35/100 because percentages are out of 100
b.
$124.99 \times 0.35 =43.75$
$124.99 - 43.75 = 81.24$
the sale price is $81.24
c.
$81.24 \times 0.05 = 4.06$
the tax is $4.06
$81.24 + 4.06 = 85.30$
the sale price plus tax is 85.30
