A CD usually sells for $11.00. If the CD is 20% off, and sales tax is 7%, what is the total price of the CD, including tax? $9.57 $9.50 $9.42 $10.00

OpenStudy (sleepyjess):

First off, lets start with the 20% off. Do you know how to find this?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

20%/11

OpenStudy (sleepyjess):

Close, good try though :) It would actually be 11-(20%*11), or just 11*80%. How do we convert percents into decimals?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

8.8

OpenStudy (sleepyjess):

yes! Now we need 107% of 8.8 to find the total price

OpenStudy (anonymous):

94.16

OpenStudy (sleepyjess):

That is close, what did you multiply though?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

107*88

OpenStudy (sleepyjess):

We actually need 1.07*8.8

OpenStudy (anonymous):

9416

OpenStudy (sleepyjess):

You should get 9.416

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yea
