( FILL IN BOX) At Blooming Gardens nursery, they are currently running the following promotion: Buy three trees of the same kind at the regular price and get the fourth at 80% off. Jocelyn is needing some trees for her backyard and decided to buy four red oak trees using the promotion. The regular price for a red oak tree is $390.00. Based on a tax rate of 8.25%, Jocelyn ended up saving $[ ] by using the promotion.
@Directrix
3 red oaks at $ 390.00 each + 1 red oak at 80% off $ 390.00 + 8.25 % tax (3*390 + .2*390)*1.0825 is the total amount she paid under the sale conditions.
1350.96??
Correct but not the answer to the question. We have to figure out how much she saved.
ok :)
Without the sale, she would have paid: (4*390)*1.0825 =
Then, subtract 1350.96 from 1688.70 to get how much she saved: 1688.70 - 1350.96 =
