cost $50 each.buy 1 ring and get the 2nd for 25% off and a 3rd for 50% off. The sales tax is 8%. buy 3 rings using the deal. How much money will Traci save?

Question

This is to help me for a test coming up in my school, can someone help cause I don't understand this problem.

Answer 1

Without the discounts:

3($50) = $150

With the tax

1.08($150) = $162

 

With the discounts

$50 + $37.50 + $25 = $112.50

With tax

1.08(112.50) = $121.50

 

$162 - $121.50 = $40.50

 

Traci saved $40.50 with the discounts.
