A$52 video game is advertised for 20% off. if sales tax is 6%, how much will the video game cost?

Hey there!

To start, because the video game is 20% off, you would first find the amount taken off the video game by multiplying 52 and 0.20 (20% in decimal form):
52*0.20
=10.40

Now, subtract 10.40 from 52 (remember, the video game is 20% off, meaning you subtract 20% of the original price off the original price):
52-10.4
=41.60

Now, find the amount of sales tax added on to the price after the 20% discount (in real life, tax is always added on after the final price) which can be found by multiplying 41.60 to 0.06 (decimal form of 6%):
41.60*0.06
=2.496

Finally, add this tax amount to 41.60 and round to the nearest cent:
41.60+2.496
=44.096
≈44.10

Therefore, your final answer would be $44.10 dollars.

Hope this helps and have a marvelous day! :)

First turn it into a equation, 52+(52•.20) = 10.40, then 52-10.4=41.60, then you multiply 41.60• .06 = 2.50, then add 41.60+2.50 = 44.10.                                                                              The answer is $44.10
