A team equipment manager buys four football helmets at a cost of $101.25 each, plus 8% sales tax. She paid 1/4 of the total in cash, and put the rest on the team’s credit card. How much was charged to the credit card?
101.25 * 4 * .08 = ?
3/4 ? = ??
total including tax = 1.08*101.25 = 109.35
3/4 of that will go on credit cars
= (3/4)(109.35) = 82.01
Oops, go with PsyDAG
I read it as only 1 helmet
To find out how much was charged to the credit card, we need to calculate the total cost of the four football helmets including sales tax, and then subtract the amount paid in cash.
First, let's calculate the total cost of the four football helmets. Each helmet costs $101.25, so the total cost without sales tax would be 4 x $101.25 = $405.
Next, let's calculate the sales tax. The sales tax rate is 8%, which means we need to find 8% of $405. To do this, we can multiply $405 by 8% (or 0.08).
Sales tax amount = $405 x 0.08 = $32.40
Now, let's add the sales tax to the total cost of the helmets to find the final total:
Final total = total cost + sales tax
Final total = $405 + $32.40 = $437.40
According to the information given, the team equipment manager paid 1/4 of the total in cash. To find out how much was paid in cash, we can divide the final total by 4:
Amount paid in cash = $437.40 / 4 = $109.35
Finally, to determine how much was charged to the credit card, we subtract the amount paid in cash from the final total:
Amount charged to credit card = final total - amount paid in cash
Amount charged to credit card = $437.40 - $109.35 = $328.05
Therefore, $328.05 was charged to the team's credit card.
