At the St. Augustine Alligator Farm and Zoological Park, Fred purchased an inflatable giant crocodile for his sister to use at the beach. Gomek (crocodile's name) usually costs $39.95 but was on sale for 25% off. The sales tax was 6%. How much did Fred pay?

Question

Alright. This is pretty easy. All you need is a calculator. 

Regular price: $39.95

Since it's 25% off, 
we're only paying 75% of the regular price. 

So take your calculator, 
and calculate 75% of $39.95.

Take a SHOWER?! While I'm supposed to what, sit here and just GIVE YOU THE ANSWER?

Okay, now we have $29.96

We still need to add on sales tax, 
which is 6%. 

So multiply $29.96 by 1.06. 
That's how we add on 6% sales tax. 

What do you get now?
