4.) Chris purchased the following items:
- 2 binders at $4.99 each
- 1 math set for $3.99
- a backpack for $19.99
Find the total cost including 5% GST and 7% PST.
This is the calculation I did to figure out the final price with taxes included:
4.99 x 2 = 9.98
9.98 + 3.99 + 19.99 = 33.96
33.96 x 0.12 ( add the GST and PST- which makes 0.12 ) = 4.07 ( tax money )
4.07 + 33.96 = $38.03 ( final price, taxes included too.)
13.) A ski jacket has been marked down on three occasions, first 20% off, then 25% off the new price, and finally 50% off the previous price. What is the overall percent saved?
This is the calculation I did to find the overall percent saved:
For example, if the jacket was $100,
100 x 20% ( 0.20 ) = 20
100 - 20 = 80
80 x 25% ( 0.25) = 20
80 - 20 = 60
60 x 50% ( 0.50) = 30
60 - 30 = $30 ( final price )
$100 - $30 = $70
$70 divided by 100 = 0.7 ( 70%) ( savings )
12.) a.) What is 115% of 230?
115% ( 1.15 ) x 230 = 264.50
