Question

3) A store buys dresses that cost $65 each. The store marks their cost price up by 100%, and this is what they charge you to buy one of the dresses. The store then decides to give a 25% discount on the marked up price, but after the discount is applied you must pay 7.75% sales tax. How much will one of these dresses cost you?

Answer 1

So you double 65 to get 130 then multiply 130 by 0.25 to get 32.5 and then subtract 32.5 from 130 (130-32.5) to get 97.5 then multiply 97.5 by 0.0775 to get 7.55625 then subtract 7.55625 from 97.5 (97.5-7.55625) to get 89.94375 the round that to 89.94 and that’s your answer hope this helps
