At a restaurant you order soup for $1.25 and a sandwich for $7.25. Sales tax is 10%. What is the total bill including sales tax?
$0.85
$7.65
$8.50
$9.35
2. Lebron bought a new pair of basketball shoes that were on sale for 25% off. If he paid a total of $150, what was the original price of the shoes?
$37.50
$112.50
$200.00
$187.50
1. First calculate the cost of the soup and sandwich before tax: $1.25 + $7.25 = $<<1.25+7.25=8.50>>8.50
2. Now calculate the sales tax on the meal: $8.50 * 0.10 = $<<8.5*0.1=0.85>>0.85
3. Now add the sales tax to the cost of the meal: $8.50 + $0.85 = $<<8.5+0.85=9.35>>9.35. The total bill including sales tax is $9.35.
1. To find the original price of the shoes, you need to divide the amount paid by the percentage that Lebron paid. Since he paid 25% less, this means he paid 100% - 25% = 75% of the original price.
2. So, $150 represents 75% of the original price. To find what 1% equals, divide $150 by 75: $150 / 75 = $<<150/75=2>>2.
3. Now multiply $2 by 100% to find the original price: $2 * 100 = $<<2*100=200>>200. The original price of the shoes was $200.00.
