Darias bought 5 school binders that cost $8.00 per binder. If a back-to-school discount of 40% was
applied to his purchase, and then a 6% sales tax was
added, what was the total cost of the binders?

$25.44

Step-by-step explanation:

First, you multiply, 5*8 = $40.00

Then you subtract the discout, 40-40% = $24.00

Lastly, you must add the sales tax, 24+6% = $25.44

The total cost of the binders is $25.44

hello :

by applying the distributive property :

6 × 4.3 = 6 × ( 4 + 0.3 )

            =   (6 ×   4) + (6 ×   0.3)

            = 24 + 1.8

6 × 4.3 = 25.8
