bart bought a digital camera with a list price of $219 from an online store offering a 6 percent discount. He needs to pay $7.50 for shipping. What was Bart's total cost?
Answer: Bart's total cost was $213.36.
Step-by-step explanation:
Hi, to solve this problem you have to calculate the value of the 6 percent discount.
So:
$219 x 0.06 = $13.4
We have calculated the value in money of the discount applied to the list price. The next step is to subtract the discount to the list price.
$219-$13.4=$205.86
Finally, we have to add the shipping cost to obtain the total cost for Bart.
$205.86+ $7.50= $213.36
Bart's total cost was $213.36.
