anonymous · Answer

Oh yes please! :)

abdela25 · Answer

okayy

abdela25 · Answer

first you take the original number...in this case it would be 3,015.00

abdela25 · Answer

and you have to figure out 25% of it

abdela25 · Answer

if you type in a calculator 25% of 3015.00 you would get 753.75

abdela25 · Answer

assuming you are still in 7th grade...your teacher should be allowing you to use calculators ...to figure this out in your head would take more time and gets complicated

anonymous · Answer

Okay thank you so much!! My teacher lets my use calculators if i have to

abdela25 · Answer

anyways you got 753.75 when you get 25% OF 3015.00 
now you have to find 6% of 3015.00

abdela25 · Answer

you do the same thing type in a calculator 6% of 3015.00 and you would get 180.90

abdela25 · Answer

just add 753.75 and 180.90 and you will get your final answer which is 934.65 ;) ;) ;)
