Carrie sees a dress she wants that usually sells for $109. The dress is on sale at 15% off and sales tax is 6.5%. How much will Carrie need to purchase the dress?

Respuesta :

Answer:

$98.67

Step-by-step explanation:

109(.15)= $16.35 You multiply by .15 to find out what 15% of the total (109) is going to be discounted.

109-16.35= 92.65 You subtract the discount from the total to come up with the new total.

92.65(1.065)= 98.67225 =98.67 You take the discounted total, 92.65, and multiply it by 1.065 which represents how you will will be paying for sales tax.
