Question

Zach bought a gold necklace originally priced at $50 but on sale for 60% off. After 10% sales tax,
what was the total cost? *

Answer 1

Answer: $22

Step-by-step explanation:

First we calculate for the sale price.

We have to find how much is 60% of 50.

We do this by:

$50 *0.6=$

This equals 30.

We now subtract the 30 from the 50 to get our sale price.

$50 -30 =$

The sale price is $20.

Now we have to add a 10% sales tax. This is done by multiply the percentage and adding 1 to it like this.

$1+0.1$

This equals 1.1

This is what we will multiply the $20 by.

$20*1.1=$

The total cost is $22.

Answer 2

The answer to this question would be 22$
