Nathaniel goes to a store an buys an item that costs xx dollars. He has a coupon for 40% off, and then a 7% tax is added to the discounted price. Write an expression in terms of xx that represents the total amount that Nathaniel paid at the register.

He pays x*0.642

Step-by-step explanation:

Suppose that we have an object with an initial price P.

If we have a discount of X%, then the new price will be:

NP = P*(1 - X%/100%)

And if we have an increase of X%, the new price is:

NP = P*(1 + X%/100%)

In this case, we have an initial item that costs x dollars, first we have a coupon for 40% off, then we have a discount of 40%.

Then the new price is:

NP = x*(1 - 40%/100%) = x*(1 - 0.4) = x*0.6

Now we add a tax of the 7%, then the final price will be:

FP = (x*0.6)*(1 + 7%/100%) = (x*0.6)*(1 + 0.07) = x*(0.6*1.07) = x*0.642

This is the total amount he pays at the register.
