Luis wants to buy a skateboard that usually sells for $79.57. all merchandise is discounted by 12%. what is the total cost of the skateboard if luis has to pay a state sales tax of 7.75%. round your intermediate calculations and answer to the nearest cent.

79.57 times 12% = 70.02
70.02 times 7.75% = 5.43
70.02 plus 5.43 = 75.43

How do you take a percentage off a price?

Procedure:
Get the original price: 79.57
The rate is usually given as a percent: 12%
To find the discount, multiply the rate by the original price: (79.57 x 12) / 100 = 9.54
To find the sale price, subtract the discount from original price: 79.57 - 9.54 = 70.03

Now add the tax of 7.75% on the sales price, 

Tax on sales price = (70.03 x 7.75) / 100 = 5.42
Total cost of item = 70.03 + 5.42 = 75.45.

step-by-step explanation:

always plug in x. in this case, x equals 4.

i'm going to first solve 4(2+3x)

1) 4(2+3(4)) use pemdas to solve.

i'm going to multiply whats in the parenthesis first, so 3 times 4=12.

2)4 (2+12) i'm then going to multiply 4 by both numbers in the parenthesis (because multiplying comes before adding)

4 times 2= 8.   4 times 12= 48

4) (8+48)= 56 (answer)

i'm then going to solve 8+12x and plug in 4 for x.

1) 8 +12(4)

multiplying comes before adding, so i'm gonna multiply 12 and 4.

12 times 4= 48.

2) 8+48=56

both equal the same!
