Leon lives in North Dakota, which has a sales tax of 5%. He just bought a home theater system whose full price was $450, but after sending in a rebate form, he later received a check in the mail for $75. What was the total amount that Leon ended up paying after receiving the rebate?

A. $397.50
B. $472.50
C. $393.75
D. $375.00

Answer 1

5% tax You would need to change the Percentage to a decimal, so you move the decimal to the left twice making it .05 = 5%

Got that part?

Answer 2

Add 5% to the total amount

Answer 3

after that you would do $450 x .05 would equal $22.5
This is how much tax is added to the system he bough making it a total of $472.5

Can you do the rest from there?
