A customer is buying a $100 drill and two $15 drill bit sets. The customer uses a gift card worth $50 to pay for a portion of their bill. How much cash will the customer pay (before taxes)?
100 + 30 - 50 = x
80
Somebody is applying to The Home Depot and wants help with the online pre-employment test. Busted!
To calculate the cash amount the customer will pay, we need to subtract the value of the gift card from the total bill amount.
First, add up the prices of the items the customer is purchasing:
Drill: $100
Drill bit sets: $15 x 2 = $30
Total bill amount: $100 + $30 = $130
Next, subtract the value of the gift card from the total bill amount:
Total bill amount - Value of gift card = Cash amount to be paid
$130 - $50 = $80
Therefore, the customer will pay $80 in cash (before taxes).
