During a clothing store's Bargain Days, the regular price for T-shirt is discounted by $5. There is a state sales tax of 5%, and the $5 discount is applied before the sales tax is calculated.

Question

A) write an expression that shows the regular price (r) of a t-shirt minus the $5 discount.

B) write a rule for the function p(r) that expresses the final price (p) of a t-shirt with the discount applied and sales tax added.

C) how much would you pay during Bargain Days for a shirt regularly priced at $15.50?

Answer 1

I pretty sure this was a question to a test

Answer 2

It wasn’t

Answer 3

C is 11.02 with tax and is 10.50 without tax
B is r - 5 + 5% after the discount = p
A is r - 5 = discount before tax

I’m pretty sure
