Yep, so you will pay 60% of the original price of $65
OpenStudy (anonymous):
60 as a decimal is 0.6
OpenStudy (anonymous):
but i need to turn that into a whole number right?
OpenStudy (skullpatrol):
60% = 0.6
OpenStudy (anonymous):

there is still a 5% tax on that
OpenStudy (anonymous):
So turn 5% into a whole number than add that to 39?
OpenStudy (skullpatrol):
Yes, recall 5% = 0.05
OpenStudy (anonymous):
so it would be 39.05
OpenStudy (skullpatrol):
find 5% of $39 and add that on to $39
