Question

Sue bought a picnic table on slae for 50% off the orginial price. The store charged her 10% tax and her final cost was $22.00. What was the orginal price of the picnic table?

Answer 1

for this problem you need to work backwards. start with the final price of $22. You know sue paid 10% before tax, so set up an equation to find the price before tax. the equation will be:

$22= 1.1x (x represents the price before tax). so, divide 22 by 1.1 to get $20.

Note: .1 is the same thing as 10%, and I used 1.1 to represent the whole price, with tax added. for example, if the tax was 6%, you would use 1.06x in the equation.

Since sue got the table for half price, you need to multiply 20x2. This will give you the original price of $40

Answer 2

It was origanally $40. This is because 50% of 40 is 20, so the picnic table cost $20. To find 10% of 20, you do 20 * .1 and you get 2 ($2.) This means that the tax is $2. 20+2=22.

Answer 3

40

Answer 4

40

Answer 5

$40

Answer 6

10% of $22 = $2
$22 - $2 = $20
$20*2 = $40

Kid if you need help on this one you really need to study your maths.

Answer 7

the original price is forty dollars. all you have to do is subtract 10% from 22. and then double the sale price

Answer 8

10% tax! WOWIE!! Sue must live in California or something, cause that's a junk load-a tax to pay!
