@musicdramalife00 the steps of how to solve the Price of item after a 20% discount plus sales tax:

OpenStudy (anonymous):

s you're saying that the price of the item is $6.96 find the discount price with tax and the final answer will = 8.35? are you sure?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it won't = 8.35

OpenStudy (anonymous):

^^^^ look

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OH THATS WHAT YOU MEANT

OpenStudy (anonymous):

lol yeah

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what equation would i use?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

& whatnot

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh mk

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no equation needed

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay so basically its saying that your tax will be 20% of your original price

OpenStudy (anonymous):

there is no discount basically

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@Mertsj is this correct?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so you start out with $6.96 find 20% of that and it will give you the tax 1.39

OpenStudy (mertsj):

The item is 20% off. That means you don't have to pay 20% of the price but you do have to pay 80% of the price. 80% of 6.96=.80(6.96)=5.57 Now you have to figure out the tax and you didn't say what the tax rate is so you'll have to figure that out for yourself and add it to 5.57
