Answer 8

This is my guess: Is it multiple choice

2715.75

Answer 9

no I wish so how do u get that answer

Answer 10

3000*.15=450
3000-450=2550
2550*.065=165.75
2550+165.75=2715.75

I don't know if the math is right, or even how you do it at all. Maybe jdoe0001 will know.

I already see @mangorox looking at your question.

Answer 20

To find a discount, this is the formula:
\[part = percent \times whole\]

Which means, part = the amount of discount (which is unknown in your question, this is what you are trying to figure out). Percent = the percent of the discount, which in your question is 15%. put this in decimal form, which is 0.15. Finally, whole = the original price. Which in your question, the original price is $3000.

Plug in those into the equation:
\[part = 0.15 \times $3000\]

Multiply to find the part, then subtract the part from the whole. Remember, the whole = $3000

Answer 21

THANKS SOOOOO MUCH

Answer 22

No problem! Do you need help with the tax part?

Answer 23

So, did I get everything right, or did I do it wrong. If I did it wrong, I want to delete my reply. That way nobody else sees it and thinks it's right.

Answer 24

You did it wrong...because:
\[0.15 \times $3000 = $450\]

So:
\[$3000 - $450 = $2550\]

Answer 25

@OrangeMaster ^

Answer 26

But, what about adding the tax

Answer 27

Nevermind...I just looked over your answer reply...and I believe you did it right..Let me check

Answer 28

To calculate tax, here is the formula (it is about the same as discounts):
\[part = percent of tax \times original price\]

The part is what you are trying to find out. The percent of tax = 6.5%. Write that in decimal form: 0.065. The price would be $2550, since you took off the discount. So:
\[part = 0.065 \times $2550\]

\[part = $165.75\]
\[$2550 + $165.75 = $2715.75\]

So: yes, you are correct! :-) @OrangeMaster

Answer 29

Cool, I must be better with discounts than I though. Thanks for the confirmation @mangorox
