1) My mom bought a computer. The original price was USD 600 and the tax was 20% and not included.
She wanted to calculate the tax. What is 20% of USD 600?
I did:
20%*600 = USD 120
So; the tax was USD 120.
And for the total cost:
600+120 = 720
So the total cost is USD 720.
2) I saw a pair of jeans in a store and they originally cost USD 80 but they were on sale for 70% off.
What is the rebate? What is 70% of USD 80?
I did:
70%*80 = USD 56
So; the rebate is USD 56.
So the price of the pair of jeans is going to be USD 24.

That's a good price for a computer :) Can you use your math skills to calculate the pre-tax sales price if you know the tax rate and final price you paid?
ReplyDeleteIsn't it the original price of the computer? USD 600?
