Paper towels cost 6.99, you have a 10% off coupon. the tax rate is 8%. what is the total amount?

/picture is attached/

The best answer should be $6.80 after discounts and taxes. (Not Rounded) | See below for rounded variable

Step-by-step explanation:

$6.99 x .10 = .699 (69 cents) (70 cents rounded) [DISCOUNT]

$6.99 - .69 = $6.30 [AFTER DISCOUNT]

$6.30 x .08 = .504 (50 cents) [SALES TAX]

$6.30 + .50 = $6.80 ( Not rounded )[TOTAL AFTER DISCOUNT/TAX]

$6.79 if you are suppose to round the .699 to .70

hi! i think the answer is 1/2 : )

check above link.

graphically?   well, you graph them both, the solutions is where they both intersect each other, since there are two solutions, meaning they will meet twice, or namely the linear will run into the quadratic curve twice, and where they meet, those x,y coordinates are the solutions to the system.
