Ellen wants to purchase a book that is regularly priced at $18. The book is discounted 15%. She also needs to pay a 6% sales tax on the discounted price.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

What is the total price she will pay?

OpenStudy (study312):

0.15 • 18 = 2.7 18 - 2.7 = 15.3 15.3 • 0.06 = 0.918, round it up to the nearest cent = 0.92 15.3 + 0.92 = 16.22.

Get it?
