Answer 1

Answer:

part A 1.68

part B 29.67

Step-by-step explanation:

First you multiply $39.99 dollars and  0.30 = $11.9970 you round this to $12.00

After you apply the discount $39.99 - $12.00  = 27.99  

Next you must multiply 27.99*0.06 =1.6794 and round to 1.68 to get tax

Last you add $27.99 and 1.68 to get a total of $29.67 for the headphones

Answer 2

The sales tax amount is $1.68, and the total amount paid is $29.66

The price is given as:

$Price = \ 39.99$

The sales tax is given as:

$Sales\ tax = 6\%$

The discount is given as:

$Discount = 30\%$

(a) The sales tax paid

Start by calculating the discounted price, using:

$Discount = Price \times (1 - 30\%)$

So, we have:

$Discount = \ 39.99 \times (1 - 30\%)$

$Discount = \ 39.99 \times 0.70$

$Discount = \ 27.993$

The sales tax is then calculated using:

$Sales\ tax = \ 27.993 \times 6\%$

$Sales\ tax = \ 1.67958$

Approximate

$Sales\ tax = \ 1.68$

(b) The total amount paid

This is calculated as:

$Total = Discount + Sales\ Tax$

$Total = \ 27.99 +\ 1.67$

$Total = \ 29.66$

Hence, the sales tax amount is $1.68, and the total amount paid is $29.66
