Question

Max and Brenda went shopping for a table. They found one that they liked. The cost is $150.00 but there is a 25% off sale and they need to add 8% for the local sales tax. Max multiplied 150 x 0.75 to get the cost. He then multiplied the discounted amount by 1.08 to find the total cost. What was Max’s total cost? Brenda multiplied 150 x 25%, and subtracted that amount for 150. She then multiplied the discounted price by 8%. She added the discounted price and the tax amount together to get the total cost. What was Brenda’s total cost?

Answer 1

Max:
150 x 0.75 = 112.5
112.5 x 1.08 = $121.50

Brenda:
150 x 25% = 150 x 0.25 = 37.5
150 - 37.5 = 112.5
112.5 x 8% = 112.5 x 0.08 = 9
112.5 + 9 = $121.50

Answer 2

Answer:

Answer: brainlest please

Then she calculed the 8%percent($9)

She added$ 9 to $112.5 = $121.5

Mac skipped the addition of the tax by directly multiply $112*$ 1.08 = $121.5

Both have the same result
