2. jenna ford purchased a compact stereo that regularly sells for $229.99 at a markdown rate of 53%. in california, where jenna lives, the sales tax rate on this item is 7%. find the final price of the item.

$115.67

Step-by-step explanation:

given that the markdown rate is 53%, that means that the markdown is 53% of the original price, or,

markdown = 53% of $229.99 = 0.53 x 229.99 = $121.89

sale price before tax = Original Price - Markdown

= 229.99 - 121.89

= $108.10

sales tax = 7% of sale price before tax

= 0.07 x 108.10

= $7.57

Final price =  price before tax + tax

= 108.1 + 7.57

= $115.67

b is the correct answer
