A wheelbarrow was originally priced at $75 but went on sale for 60% off. If Gary bought the wheelbarrow and paid 10% sales tax, how much did he pay in total?

Do you know how much the wheelbarrow without the tax cost? Do you know how to find it?

wait wrong problem

snowflake0531:

Okay, and btw, don't quote me lol. The yellow is kinda~ Anyways, so, 75, 60% decrease, which means that there is only 40% of the value left. Right?

While on vacation in Orangeord, Polly went out for a dinner that cost $40. If sales tax in Orangeord is 15% and Polly left a 15% tip on $40, what was the total cost of her meal? a few moments ago

snowflake0531:

Okay, one step at a time. $40, sales tax is 15% So, how much did she pay?

lilcutie2:

$52 because 15% of 40 is 6 but you have to add it twice so 40 + 6 + 6 = 52.

Lol, yes, you went ahead of me, but yes, I think that that's the answer.
