OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay so the first thing you have to do is, add up the blu-ray things that he got

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and then times that by the 7%

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and that should give you the answer

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thanks

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what did you get?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ok I times 7% to 90.94 and I am getting $ 6.37

OpenStudy (anonymous):

hold on right quick, I'll do it too

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay so what you do is add 79.95 to the 10.99 times 4, and then you should get 122.9, and then times that by 7%, which is 0.07. Did you do that?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No what I did was add up the Blu-Ray To the Blu-Ray Movies and I got 90.94 Then, I times 90.94 to 7% and got 6.37

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you did the adding wrong, your supposed to do the 10.99 times four

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you did the adding wrong, your supposed to do the 10.99 times four
