Question

Drew bought golf clubs for $499. They were on sale for 15% off and the tax was 6.5%. What was the total price? (find discount first, then the tax)

Answer 1

The total price of the golf clubs is  $451.72.

Determining the price of the golf clubs after the discount

A discount reduces the price of the golf clubs. Thus after the discount, the price of the golf clubs would be cheaper.

Price of the golf clubs after the discount = (1 - discount rate) x $499 =

(1 - 0.15) x $499 = $424.15

Determining the price of the golf clubs after the tax

(1 + 0.065) x $424.15 = $451.72
