Beth wants to buy a new dress. The one she likes has an original price of $150 and is now on sale for $90. [ The discount for this dress is 60 percent. Discount = sale price/original price × 100; Discount = ($90/$150) × 100; Discount = 0.6 × 100; Discount = 60%. ]

1 Answer/Comment
The total price of the suit including tax is $89.46.
Sales tax amount = Original price × Sales tax rate
Sales tax amount = $84 × 6.5%
Sales tax amount = $84 × 0.065
84×0.065=5.46

Total price = Original price + Sales tax amount
Total price = $84 + $5.46
Total price = 89.46
