Question

saria bought an mp3 player on sale for 30% off the regular price. saria also had a coupon which offered an additional $10.00 off the sale price. if the regular price of the mp3 player was $75.00, what was the final sale price of the mp3 player before tax? $22.50 $42.50 $45.50 $52.50

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate 30% off regular price

The regular price is $75.00. 30% off means we pay 70% of the regular price. So, 70% of $75 is $0.70 \times 75 = 52.50$.

Step2: Apply additional $10 off

Subtract the $10 coupon from the sale price. So, $52.50 - 10 = 42.50$.

Answer:

$42.50$ (corresponding to the option with $42.50$)
