(5 points) part b: what is the total amount that ron paid for the headphones? show all work and steps in your solution.

     26.99

Step-by-step explanation:

Original price = 49.99

Discount rate = 50% = .5

To find the discount we take the original price and multiply by the discount rate.

Discount = original price * discount rate

Discount = 49.99 *.5

Discount = 24.995  (rounding to the nearest cent) =25.00

To find the sale price we subtract the discount from the sale price.

Sale price = original price - discount

                = 49.99 -25

                  =24.99

To find the sales tax, we take the tax rate and multiply by the sales price

tax = sales price *  tax rate

tax=      24.99 * .08

     = 1.9992

Round to the nearest cent

     = 2.00

The total cost is the sales price plus the tax

Total cost = sales price+ tax

                 = 24.99 +2.00

                  26.99
