A computer game usually sells for $40. Niko bought it when it went on sale for 25% off. The sales tax was 6%. How much did Niko pay for the game?

$31.80

Step-by-step explanation:

First, find the sale price.

Normally you pay for 100% of the price. Since it is 25% off, you only pay for 75% of the price. (100%-25%=75%)

Therefore, we can multiply 75% and $40

75% * $40

Convert 75% to a decimal by dividing 75 by 100 or moving the decimal place 2 spots to the left.

75/100=0.75

75.0 --> 7.5 --> 0.75

0.75* $40

Multiply

$30

Now, find the price with tax.

You have to pay for 100% of the price, plus an additional 6% for the tax. Therefore, you are actually paying for 106% of the price (100% + 6% = 106%)

Therefore, we can multiply 106% and $30

106% * $30

Convert 106% to a decimal by dividing 106 by 100 or moving the decimal place 2 spots to the left.

106/100=1.06

106.0 --> 10.6 --> 1.06

1.06 * $30

Multiply

$31.8

Niko paid $31.80 for the game.
