Mark needed to buy some items for a science project. The items were priced $3.25, $0.55, $2.95, and $4.25 before tax. If everything in the store was on sale for 20% off, what was the total cost of the items he bought, before tax?

Respuesta :

The total cost was $8.80 before tax.

Step-by-step explanation:

The prices of items;

$3.25, $0.55, $2.95, and $4.25

Total price = Sum of all prices

Total price = $3.25 + $0.55 + $2.95 + $4.25

Total price = $11.00

Sale = 20% off

Discount = 20% of total price

Discount = [tex]\frac{20}{100}*11[/tex]

Discount = [tex]\frac{220}{100}= \$2.20[/tex]

Total cost of items bought = Total price - Discount

Total cost of items bought = 11.00 - 2.20 = $8.80

The total cost was $8.80 before tax.
