Answer:
The bag of Takis now costs $4.46.
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given that a bag of Takis costs $5.95. We are also told that a markdown of 30% is applied to the product.
[tex]\displaystyle 100\%-30\% = 70\%\\\\\frac{70}{100}=0.7\\\\5.95 \times 0.7 = 4.165 \approx \$4.17[/tex]
Our new price is equal to $4.17, but we are told that a sales tax of 7% is also applied to the Takis. Therefore:
[tex]\displaystyle 100\% + 7\% = 107\%\\\\\frac{107}{100} = 1.07\\\\4.17 \times 1.07 = 4.4619 \approx \$4.46[/tex]
Therefore, the item with a markdown and sales tax applied is approximately $4.46.
