Question

A person wanted to purchase products at a store ($43.99) and wanted to use a coupon for 20% off. What would be the final total when the coupon is used on the item and the sales tax (11%) is added? Remember significant figures in your calculations.

Answer 1

43.99*.8*1.11= ?
Should be rounded to nearest cent. The 20 percent is significant to many places. All others are to nearest cent.

Answer 2

(43.99)-(43.99*0.20)+(43.99*0.11)=?????


Bobpursley has a typo!!!!!

Answer 3

To anonymous--- I don't think so but you have one. Anonymous added tax to the 43.99 which is the initial price. Tax usually is charged on the final price. Also note that 43.99-(43.99*0.20) is the same as 43.99*0.8.

Answer 4

You are correct......
