You have to help them, you cannot just say that. Explain it to them yourself...

we are really working with percents, this is just like a "real world" problem

Rylee88 · Answer

Okay so we have to do,         / = Divided     *=times
4.25 / 100 = .0425 * 32000 = 1360 + 32000 = 33360
So, I belive 33360 is you're answer, how?

B= Big number   S= Small number    /= Divide    * = times     P= Original price

S/100 = (Decimal) * P = ___ + P = ____     P could also most likely be the Bigger number.

wouldn't it be a smaller answer tho? the question is lacking how much she earns each month for 6 years..

ILikeToEatChildren · Answer

asking** not lacking sry

ILikeToEatChildren · Answer

not earns either, i meant pays for each month

Rylee88 · Answer

RIGHT! Sorry, I didn't round!     
So, 33,360 Rounds by the tens place which is 6 so 5 and up makes hundreds go up. 4 and below makes it go down, So 33,460. 
I don't THINK it would be lower because it shows 32,000 which is the original price I'm pretty sure 6 doesn't matter BUT we can try this equation with 6.

6/100=0.06+4.25=0.255*4.25=1.08375 and we need to make it lower so we times * it by 100 again and get 108.375 So we round to the nearest cents, so it's 5 and up so I think you're answer is 108,385.

but there is 72 months in 6 years, wouldn't we need to do something with that since the question is asking how much she pays each month?

Rylee88 · Answer

All you do with the Sales Tax equation is the ones with the equation, you might be thinking to far.

Rylee88 · Answer

If those numbers are not in you're equation it won't matter.

ILikeToEatChildren · Answer

Rylee88 · Answer
