Question

Skis regulary sell for $350.
They are on sale at 45% off. What is the total cost, including taxes ?
Think of a different way to slove this problem

Answer 1

what is tax percentage?

Answer 2

i think it's 13%

Answer 3

13% is a pretty big tax rate :)

Anyway, the following equation should help:
\[itemcost = 350 - (350 * .45)\]
\[totalcost = itemcost + (itemcost * taxrate)\]

Answer 4

217.525$

Answer 5

Good luck finding half a penny :)

Answer 6
