Jessica purchased a DVD that was on sale for 12% off. The sales tax in her county is 3%. Let y represent the original price of the DVD. Write an expression that can be used to determine the final cost of the DVD.

AngeI:

I think this would just be y+-12%+3%

tyson:

ok thx

AngeI:

Wait no 'm sorry

tyson:

oh ok what is it then

AngeI:

So she is paying 88% and I put 12 like minus (which may work) but the formula they would want is .88y(1.03) Since y is the original and you are only paying 88% of it cx

tyson:

thank u
