Answer:
D. $150.80
Step-by-step explanation:
We have been given that Rico lives in Michigan, which has a sales tax of 6%. He just bought some water skis, whose full price was $180, but he presented the retailer with a coupon for $40, which the retailer accepted.
The total amount paid by Rico for the ski would be cost of ski plus sales tax minus coupon amount.
[tex]\text{Total amount paid by Rico}=(\$180+\$180\times \frac{6}{100})-\$40[/tex]
[tex]\text{Total amount paid by Rico}=(\$180+\$180\times 0.06)-\$40[/tex]
[tex]\text{Total amount paid by Rico}=(\$180+\$10.80)-\$40[/tex]
[tex]\text{Total amount paid by Rico}=\$180.80-\$40[/tex]
[tex]\text{Total amount paid by Rico}=\$150.80[/tex]
Therefore, Rico paid $150.80 for the ski and option D is the correct choice.
Answer:
D. $150.80
Step-by-step explanation:
We know from the problem that sale tax is 6%.
The water skis price was $180.
Rico had a $40 coupon, which is applied after sale tax.
So, including sale tax, the price would be
[tex]\$180 + 0.06(\$180)=\$180 + \$10.8=\$190.8[/tex]
Then, including the $40 coupon, the final price would be
[tex]\$190.80-\$40=\$150.80[/tex]
Therefore, the right choice is D.
Remember that you have to include the sale tax, which increases the price, and then you can applied the coupon discount.
