At the hardware store, you purchase a box of nails originally worth $14.99. you have a coupon for 20% off the nails. sales tax is 6%. what is the total cost for the nails?

12.71

Step-by-step explanation:

The sales tax is only added after money changes hands.

100% - 20% = 80%

That means he will pay 80% of the full price.

14.99 * 80/100  = 11.99

Now apply the sales tax.

100%+6/100% = 106%

You are taking 106% of 11.99

11.99 * 106/100 = $12.71

total amount of money that he should pay if he has not used his duty free exemption is $98

step-by-step explanation:

given a united states citizen returning to the states declares the following items at the customs office: 3 shirts at $8.50 each 2 dresses at $27.50 each 1 pair of gold cuff links at $17.50 per pair. we have to find how much he pay

cost of 3 shirts if one cost at $8.50 is

cost of 2 dresses if one cost at $27.50 is  

cost of 1 pair of gold cuff at $17.50

so, total amount of money that he should pay if he has not used his duty free exemption is   $25.5+$55+$17.50=$98

then say something, tell them they won’t respect you if you don’t even have respect for your self sweetheart you need to lay it on them, all of it : )
