Find the unit price for each option shown below. Round to the nearest cent when necessary.
Option I: 10 candy bars for $6.75
Option II: 12 candy bars for $7.25
Which option is the better buy.
To find the unit price, divide the total cost by the number of items:
Option I:
Unit price = $6.75 ÷ 10
Unit price = $0.675
Option II:
Unit price = $7.25 ÷ 12
Unit price = $0.6042 (rounded to four decimal places)
Therefore, Option II has the better unit price, at $0.6042 per candy bar.
A jacket's original price is $65.00. It is on sale for 40% off. You have to pay 5% sales tax. What is the final price for the jacket? explain
If the jacket is on sale for 40% off, then the sale price is 60% of the original price. We can find the sale price by multiplying the original price by 0.60:
Sale price = $65.00 x 0.60
Sale price = $39.00
Now that we know the sale price, we can add the 5% sales tax. To find the amount of sales tax, we multiply the sale price by 0.05:
Sales tax = $39.00 x 0.05
Sales tax = $1.95
Finally, we add the sales tax to the sale price to find the final price:
Final price = Sale price + Sales tax
Final price = $39.00 + $1.95
Final price = $40.95
Therefore, the final price for the jacket, including the 40% discount and 5% sales tax, is $40.95.
