a swimming pool had a list price of $575.25 and was on sale for 10% off.Sara had a coupon for an extra $75 off. What will her cost be before tax?
Answer:
First take 10% off of $575.25. 10% of $575.25 is $57.53, so 10% off would be $575.25-$57.53, which makes the price $517.72. Then, including the $75 coupon, reduces the price down to $442.72. Therefore, her price before tax is $442.72.
