Question

Ella purchase a game that was on sale for 12%off the sales tax in her country is 6% let y represent the original price of the game write an expression that can be used to determine the final coast of the game

Answer 1

usually, sales tax is calculated after any discounts

so let's start with the original price, y

to take 12% off y, you can calculate y - (12% of y) or (y - 0.12y)

on top of that price, to calculate the final price after a 6% tax, multiply the previous result by 1.06
