oreo123:

Ok so first we need to find the discounted price

Laylay333:

33.07?

oreo123:

no but that's ok

oreo123:

the discounted price is 26.39

Laylay333:

oh. sorry

oreo123:

your sales tax is 8% percent so now do 26.39 x 0.08

oreo123:

what you might get is 2.1112

Laylay333:

2.1112

Laylay333:

yeah

oreo123:

the sales tax is 2.11 because the third 1 rounds the second 1 and it gives you 2.11

oreo123:

now for part B do 26.39 + 2.11

Laylay333:

28.5

oreo123:

oreo123:

yup

Laylay333:
