Answer: $27.83
Step-by-step explanation:
Hello there!
So for this problem, we need to know how to find the percent of something.
For example, to find 7 percent of something, you would multiple it by .07, not .7. If you multiplied it by .7 that would be 70 percent and not 7.
So what we’re going to do is find 75 percent of the caps original price since 25 percent is being taken off. We would be still spending 75 percent of the original price. Now we multiply 35 by .75.
We get 26.25.
Now for tax. The problem says that the take is 6 percent of the sale price, not the original price. We would multiply 26.25 by .06 and then add 26.25, or multiply it by 1.06 so you don’t have to add 26.25 again and it makes it easier steps.
25.25 x 1.06= 27.825
Since cents can’t go past the hundredths place, we are going to round and we round up because it is a 5 behind it and 5 and up means we round. We round it to 27.83 and we have our final price.
