Answer:
Price before tax is $64
Step-by-step explanation:
It asks for price before sales tax, so ignore sales tax %.
P=original-[original•(20/100)]
=80-80•0.2
=80-16
P=64
Answer:
$64
Step-by-step explanation:
We have been given that an item regularly priced at $80 is on sale for 20% off. There is 3% sales tax. We are asked to find the sales price before sales tax.
The sales price would be 80 minus 20% of 80.
[tex]\text{Sales price}=80-\frac{20}{100}\times 80[/tex]
[tex]\text{Sales price}=80-\frac{1600}{100}[/tex]
[tex]\text{Sales price}=80-16[/tex]
[tex]\text{Sales price}=64[/tex]
Therefore, the sales price before sales tax would be $64.
