Question

1. At the hardware store, you purchased a box of nails originally worth $17. You had a coupon that took off 20% from the nails. Sales tax is 6%. What is the total cost for the nails?

2. Suppose we are at a restaurant and have ordered $29.31 worth of food and $9.72 worth of beverages. The sales tax rate is 6% and we wish to leave a 20% tip. How much is the total we will pay for this meal including tip?

Answer 1

17 * 0.80 * 1.06 = ?
Assuming you tip on the full price, including tax, that would be
(29.21 + 9.72) * 1.06 * 1.20 = ?
