Help please. Marry Christmas. The original price of a scooter is 89.99 before tax. When Trey bought the headphones they rang up 49.50 before tax. She then paid sales tax of 8% on the discounted price.

Part A: What is the percent discount on the headphones? Show all work and steps in your solution.
Part B: What is the total amount that Trey paid for the headphones including tax?

A) About a 55% discount

WORK:

We can make an equation

89.99x=49.50

Where x is the percent discount

Now solve for X

You’ll get about 0.55

B) 53.46 with tax

WORK:

Mulitply 49.5 by 1.08

We can use 1.08 since the 49.50 is already the 100 percent and the 8 percent is just extra so when multiplied it should give you 53.46

Double check:

We can also just find 8 percent of 49.5 and get 3.96

When added, it should result in 53.46
