Matt is purchasing a new tablet computer at a 20% markdown after the discount is taken, the tablet is subject to a 6% state sales tax how would you find the total amount matt must pay after the markdown and tax?

To find the total you should pay, you would first calculate the cost after the discount is applied.

To do this you will multiply 0.8 (1 - 0.2), which is the part that you will pay, by the regular price.

0.8x = d

After that you would multiply that new price by the 1 + 0.06 (1.06) because this represents you paying for all of it PLUS the sales tax.

0.8x(1.06) =t

x is the original price and t is your total after the discount and tax.

Ican’t sorry i would if i could

There is no association.
