Step 1

Given: Original price = $525 Discount price = $483 Discount amount = $525 - $483 = $42 Discount percentage = (Discount amount / Original price) * 100 Discount percentage = ($42 / $525) * 100 Discount percentage = 0.08 * 100 Discount percentage = 8% Show more…

00:01 Okay, so i see that you need help with these questions.

00:04 So it says, emmy found an item for a discount of $483 before sales tax.

00:10 The original price was $525.

00:13 So $525 minus 483 divided by 525.

00:22 And so that's $525 minus 483.

00:28 That's 42 over 525.

00:33 And that is 0 .08.

00:39 And so if i multiply by 100, multiply by 100, that is 8%.

00:48 If the sales tax is 7 .75%, what is the total amount emmy paid for the item round to the nearest cent? so $483 times 0 .075, 775.

01:08 So that's 483 times 0 .0775.

01:15 And that is $37 .4325.

01:22 So you're going to add this to that.

01:27 Another way to do this is 483 times 1 .0775.

01:36 And you'll get the total amount including the tax.

01:41 So 483 times 1 .0775.

01:44 And then you don't have to add it to the original amount.

01:47 And that's $520 .43.

01:50 $520 .43.

01:54 Okay, you want to carpet your 16 by 18 foot room.

02:01 If the carpet you have chosen costs $1 .50 per square foot, how much will it cost to carpet your room? so 16 times 18 is 288.

02:13 288 times 11 .5...
