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.

Therefore, Rico paid $150.80 for the ski and option D is the correct choice.

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

Then, including the $40 coupon, the final price would be

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.
