Question

  1. jennifer bought a video game that was marked down by 60%. if the original price of the game was $50 and sales tax is 10%, how much did she spend in all?

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate discounted price

First, find the percentage of the original price Jennifer pays: $100\% - 60\% = 40\% = 0.4$.
Discounted price: $50 \times 0.4 = 20$

Step2: Calculate total with sales tax

Sales tax adds 10%, so multiply by $1 + 0.1 = 1.1$.
Total cost: $20 \times 1.1 = 22$

Answer:

$\$22$
