PLS HELP I WILL GIVE BRAINLIEST IF YOU TELL ME THE STEPS ON HOW TO SOLVE THIS Judy is working at a retail store over summer break. A customer buys a $50 shirt that is on sale for 20% off. Judy computes the discount, then adds sales tax of 10%, and tells the customer how much he owes. The customer insists that Judy first add the sales tax and then apply the discount. He is convinced that this way he will save more money because the discount amount will be larger.

Is the customer right?

Both ways would ending up with the same amount

Step-by-step explanation:

The first option( Judy's way ):

50*0.8=40

40*1.1=44

The second option( customer's way ):

50*1.1=55

55*0.8=44

It would ending up with the same thing because you're multiplying the same rates/percentage, just in different order.

It is like 50*0.8*1.1 and 50*1.1*0.8

It would ending up with the same value

The answer is yes the customer is right but judy is not wrong.

Step-by-step explanation: well first we know that we have a 50$ shirt that is 20% plus the additional 10% tax.

first we need to solve how much the shirt costs with the 20% of then add ing to 10% tax

1. 20% of 50$ which is 40$

2. then find ten percent of 40$ which is 4 dollars

3. add 4 to 40 which then is 44 dollars which is now our answer for the first part of the problem.

Now we need to solve how much the shirt cost with first 10% added to the 50$ and then take away th extra 20%

1. Find 10% of 50$ which is 5 dollars

2. Add 5 to 50 which is 55$

3. Then find 20% of 55$ which is 44$

goog may be able to you find that answer
