Question

My mom was at the store with a 15% off coupon. She spent $25.00 with 7% sales tax. How much is the total?

Answer 1

\[7\div100=0.07\]

\[25.00+0.07=25.07\]

\[15\div100=0.15\]

\[25.07-0.15=24.92\]

I'm correct right @Convert ?

Answer 2

When it asks for something 15% off or 7% sales tax it asks with regards to the initial amount she spent, which is $25, so you take 7% of 25 not 1 and likewise with 15% of 25 not 1

Answer 3

25.07 is not 7% more than 25

Answer 4

@Hoodmemes No, 1st off what you would do is take the 15% off before you add the sales tax too the total which gives you 25(0.15) which is multiplication not subtraction.
After you solve this you get $3.75 which you then subtract from the original total: 25-3.75 which gives you $21.25.
After you do this you then add the sales tax because you check out after you buy the item:
21.25 (0.07) which gives you 1.4875 which round too $1.49 which you then add to the total:
21.25+1.49= $22.74 which would be the final answer.
Answer: $22.74
