Question

Josie bought a rowboat that was marked down 60% from an original price of $414.75. If she paid 10% sales tax, what was the total cost of the rowboat?
@az

Answer 1

Original price is 414.75

it gets MARKED DOWN by 60%

so just multiply them, that will tell you how much it was marked down by

and then you subtract it from 414.75 to get the new price

Answer 2

multiply what

Answer 3

the only two numbers that I wrote so far LOL

Answer 4

we are decreasing by 60%

so you multiply 60% and 414.75

Answer 5

165.9

Answer 6

that tells you then how MUCH it decreased by

and so if you want the final price, you have to subtract that from 414.75

Answer 7

Make sense?

Good

Answer 9

Now there's a sales tax

How do you do it? It's a 10% increase

It's just like what we did for the last question
