Question

You bought a lamp that originally costs $100, but was marked down 25%. The tax on the item is 4%. How much was the final cost of the lamp with tax to the nearest dollar?
A.78
B.79
C.80
D.81

Answer 1

am guessing A

Answer 2

\[\frac{100}{100}\times25 =25\] that gives a discounted price of 75. 4% of 75 is \[\frac{75}{100}\times4=3\] so the answer is A.
