Part B: What is the total amount that Andre paid for the video game? Show all work and steps in your solution. (5 points)

So first you have set up your problem and you do that by finding what the price of his video game is when it is 20% off.

You multiply $32.99 by .20 and get $6.598

Subtract that from the original price and you get $26.392. This is the video game 20% off.

(Part A) Now you find the sales tax:

Multiply $26.392 by .08 and you get $2.11 , so Andre paid $2.11 in sales tax.

(Part B) Total amount Andre paid:

Now you simply add the reduced price of the video game, $26.39, with the sales tax, $2.11, and you get $28.50.

Part A: $2.11
Part B: $28.50
