Jackson purchased a pack of game cards that was on sale for 22% off. The sales tax in his county is 6%. Let y represent the original price of the cards. Write an expression that can be used to determine the final cost of the cards.

OpenStudy (alekos):

well that would be final cost = (y-22%y) +6%(y-22%y)

OpenStudy (griffindore):

y i dont understand y it is that

OpenStudy (griffindore):

hello???

OpenStudy (alekos):

the discounted price is 22% less than the original price y, so that would be y-22%y but we would have to add 6% on top of the discounted price

OpenStudy (griffindore):

ok that makes sense but what about the res

OpenStudy (griffindore):

y is it y-22%y after the +6%

OpenStudy (alekos):

then we have to add 6% sales tax on the discounted price (y-22%y)

OpenStudy (griffindore):

oh ok

OpenStudy (griffindore):
