Aman buys furniture that has a list price of $255. he is allowed a discount of 12% but must pay a sales tax of 3% on the cost. the amount he actually pays is: (a) $217.67 (b) $231.13 (c) $224.40 (d) $232.50 (e) none of these

The actual amount which the man paid is $231.132

List price of furniture = $255

Discount = 12%

Sales tax = 3%

The discount on the list price :

(1 - discount) × list price

(1 - 12%) × 255

(1 - 0.12) × 255

0.88 × 255 = $224.4

Discounted price of furniture = $224.4

The sales tax on cost :

Sales tax × discounted price

3% × $224.4

0.03 × $255 = $6.732

Actual amount paid :

Discounted price + sales tax on cost

$224.4 + $6.732

= $231.132

The actual amount paid is $231.132

  (B)  $231.13

Step-by-step explanation:

The discount multiplies the list price by (1 -12%) = 0.88. The tax multiplies the price by (1 +3%) = 1.03. When these two factors are applied to the price, it becomes ...

  $255×0.88×1.03 = $231.132 ≈ $231.13

The amount he actually pays is $231.13.

a

step-by-step explanation:

when a number is between two straight lines it means the absolute value.

to find absolute value you need to know how many numbers is that number away from 0.

when finding absolute value the number will always come out positive

so absolute value of -3 is 3

absolute value of 3/2 is 3/2

absolute value of -2 is 2

absolute value of 3.5 is 3.5

absolute value of -1 is 1

now put these numbers in order:

a)   |-1|, |3/2|, |-2|, |-3|, |3.5|
