Pedro bought a skateboard last week. The list price of the skateboard was $64.90. He has a 20% coupon. He has to pay 8.5%
sales tax. What is total price of the skateboard with the discount, including tax? Round to the nearest cent if necessary.
Take the original price and times it by .8 (you could times it by .2 and then subtract from the original price but multiplying it by .8 is much easier) 64.9x.8= 51.92 take your discounted price and multiply it by 1.085 to account for the sales tax (you multiply by 1.085 to account for the price of the item and the tax you could times it by .085 and then add it on to the price of the item but this way it shortens the amount of steps needed) 51.92x1.085= 56.3332 Round to the nearest cent Answer=$56.33
