3 cases of fresh apples that cost $21.95 per case with 20% off and a 7.5% sales tax Figure out the total cost before the discount: Total Cost before discount = Cases * Price per case Total Cost before discount = 3 cases * $21.95 per case Total Cost before discount = $65.85 Now, find the discounted value of the apples: Discounted Apple Price = Total Cost before discount * (1 - discount percent) Discounted ApplesPrice = $65.85 * (1 - 0.2) <-- 20% is the same as 0.2 Discounted ApplesPrice = $65.85 * 0.8 Discounted ApplesPrice = $52.68 Now, apply the sales tax to this discounted value to get the total bill: Total Bill = Discounted Apple Price * (1 + tax rate) Total Bill = $52.68 * (1 + .075) <-- 7.5% = 0.075 Total Bill = $52.68 * 1.075 Total Bill = [B]$56.63[/B]

A $480 TV was put on sale for 30% off. It didn't sell, so the price was lowered an additional percent off the sale price, making the new sale price $285.60. What was the second percent discount that was given? Let the second discount be d. We're given: 480 * (1 - 0.3)(1 - d) = 285.60 480(0.7)(1 - d) = 285.60 336(1 - d) = 285.60 336 - 336d = 285.60 [URL='https://www.mathcelebrity.com/1unk.php?num=336-336d%3D285.60&pl=Solve']Type this equation into our search engine[/URL] to solve for d and we get: d = [B]0.15 or 15%[/B]

A $650 television costs $702 after sales tax is figured in. What is the sales tax percentage? [U]Calculate Sales Tax Amount:[/U] Sales Tax Amount = Total Bill - Original Cost Sales Tax Amount = 702 - 650 Sales Tax Amount = 52 [U]Calculate Sales Tax Percentage:[/U] Sales Tax Percentage = 100% * Sales Tax Amount / Original Cost Sales Tax Percentage = 100% * 52 / 650 Sales Tax Percentage = 100% * 0.08 Sales Tax Percentage = [B]8%[/B]

A bakery sells 5800 muffins in 2010. The bakery sells 7420 muffins in 2015. Write a linear model that represents the number y of muffins that the bakery sells x years after 2010. Find the number of muffins sold after 2010 through 2015: 7,420 - 5,800 = 1,620 Now, since the problem states a linear sales model, we need to determine the sales per year: 1,620 muffins sold since 2010 / 5 years = 324 muffins per year. Build our linear model: [B]y = 5,800 + 324x [/B] Reading this out loud, we start with 5,800 muffins at the end of 2010, and we add 324 more muffins for each year after 2010.

A bedroom set that normally sells for $1100 is on sale for 15% off. If sales tax rate is 2%, what is the total price of the bedroom set if it is bought while on sale? [U]Calculate the sale price:[/U] Sale Price = Normal Price * (1 - Sales Percentage) [U]With our sales percentage of 15% = 0.15, we have:[/U] Sale Price = 1100 * (1 - 0.15) Sale Price = 1100 * (0.85) Sale Price = 935 [U]Calculate post tax amount:[/U] Post tax amount = Sale Price * (1 + Tax Percentage) [U]With our tax percentage of 2% = 0.02, we have:[/U] Post tax amount = 935 * (1 + 0.02) Post tax amount = 935 * (1.02) Post tax amount = [B]$953.70[/B]

A bicycle helmet is priced at $18.50. If it is on sale for 10% off and there is 7% sales tax, how much will it cost after tax?

A bicycle store costs $2750 per month to operate. The store pays an average of $45 per bike. The average selling price of each bicycle is $95. How many bicycles must the store sell each month to break even? Let the number of bikes be b. Set up our cost function, where it costs $45 per bike to produce C(b) = 45b Set up our revenue function, where we earn $95 per sale for each bike: R(b) = 95b Set up our profit function, which is how much we keep after a sale: P(b) = R(b) - C(b) P(b) = 95b - 45b P(b) = 50b The problem wants to know how many bikes we need to sell to break-even. Note: break-even means profit equals operating cost, which in this case, is $2,750. So we set our profit function of 50b equal to $2,750 50b = 2750 [URL='https://www.mathcelebrity.com/1unk.php?num=50b%3D2750&pl=Solve']We type this equation into our search engine[/URL], and we get: b = [B]55[/B]

Savannah is a salesperson who sells computers at an electronics store. She makes a base pay of $90 each day and is also paid a commission for each sale she makes. One day, Savannah sold 4 computers and was paid a total of $100. Write an equation for the function P(x), representing Savannah's total pay on a day on which she sells x computers. If base pay is $90 per day, then the total commission Savannah made for selling 4 computers is: Commission = Total Pay - Base Pay Commission = 100 - 90 Commission = $10 Assuming the commission for each computer is equal, we need to find the commission per computer: Commission per computer = Total Commission / Number of Computers Sold Commission per computer = 10/4 Commission per computer = $2.50 Now, we build the Total pay function P(x): Total Pay = Base Pay + Commission * Number of Computers sold [B]P(x) = 90 + 2.5x[/B]
