Question

1. an antique dresser was $115, but is on sale for 30% off. if there is a 10% tax added to the sale price, how much will the dresser cost?

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate the sale price after 30% off.

The discount is 30%, so the sale price is 70% of the original price.
Original price = $115, so sale price = \( 115 \times (1 - 0.30) = 115 \times 0.70 \)
\( 115 \times 0.70 = 80.5 \)

Step2: Calculate the price with 10% tax added.

Tax is 10% of the sale price, so the final price is 110% of the sale price.
Final price = \( 80.5 \times (1 + 0.10) = 80.5 \times 1.10 \)
\( 80.5 \times 1.10 = 88.55 \)

Answer:

The dresser will cost $88.55.
