Answer 1

Samantha purchased a workstation for her home which included a desk for $395.99, a laptop for $629.99, a chair for $149.99, and a desk lamp for $14.50. She lives in Arizona and pays a 8.75% sales tax. If she made a down payment of 20% and financed the rest using the store’s install plan, what amount did she finance?

Answer 2

The first thing to do is add up each number. Can you do that real quick?

Answer 3

395.99 + 629.99 +149.99 +14.50 ?

Answer 4

Yes. What does that equal?

Answer 5

1,190.47

Answer 6

Good, that's correct. Now you're going to want to add the tax to that. So do 1,190.47 * 0.0875 and add that value to 1,190.47.

Answer 7

104.16?

Answer 8

so 1190.47 + 104.16?

Answer 9

Yes, that's the tax value. Now add that to the 1190.47

Answer 10

Correct

Answer 11

124,006.64?

Answer 12

How'd you end up with such a large number? Should be 1190.47 + 104.16 = 1294.64 (rounded to the hundredths)

Answer 13

oops i multipled one sec

Answer 14

1,294.63

Answer 15

Good. Now it says she puts a 20% down payment, so to find out how much she put down just do 1294.63 - .2 = ?

Answer 16

1,294.43?

Answer 17

Sorry meant to put 1294.63 - (1294.63 * .2). You want to multiply the starting value 1294.63 by the percentage she puts down (.2) to get the amount she put down and subtract that from the starting amount.

Answer 18

$1,035.83
