Slide3You want to buy Dad a tool kit!•   The regular price of a tool kit is $39.99.  If the tool kit is marked 15% off, what is the sales price?  Add the 5% Hawaii State tax for the total.

Slide44 Steps…• Step 1:  Find the discount.   15%  of   39.99       .15    x    39.99           =  5.9 9 8 (round to nearest cent)           = 6.00                 Discount is $6.00…       this is the amount you save  

Slide5Step 2:   Subtract discount from regular price to find the sales price.                   $39.99                  -        6.00           $33.99  is the sales price              The sales price is $33.99…             This is the amount you pay              (before you pay state tax)

Slide6Step 3:  Find the sales taxHawaii State tax is about 5% of the sales price.        5% of the sales price                5 % of $33.99               .05   x   33.99 = 1.6 9 95                (round to the penny) = $1.70      The tax is $1.70

Slide7Step 4:  Add Tax to the Sale Price$33.99  + $1.70  = $35.69 The total price you pay, with tax, is $35.69.

Slide8The receipt looks like this…Original Price  _$39.99 ___  - 15 %Discount  __$6.00___        = Sale Price   $ 33.99        + 5% tax  ___ $1.70 Total Price  ___ _ $35.69
