Answer:
Step 1: Calculate percentage discount
=> $97,899.99 × 25/100
=> 97,899.99/1 × 25/100
{multiply the numerator by the numerator and the denominators by the denominators}
=> 2,447,499.75/100
divide 24,474.9975 by 100
=> 24,474.9975
=> 24,474.9975
{Substract 24,474.9975 from 97,899.99.}
=> 97,899.99 - .24,474.9975
=> 73,424.9925
Step 2: Calculate sales tax rate
Sales tax rate = price × rate/100
=> 73,424.9925 × 3.75/100
=> 275,343.7/100
=> 2,753.437
Add to 73,424.9925
=> 73,424.9925 + 2,753.437
=> 76,178.4295
=> 76,178.4 { Rounded to 1 dp)
Therefore, the total price of the purchases is 76,178.4295
To find 25% of something we are going to divide it by 4
97,899.99/4 = 24475.00(rounded to nearest 100th)
Since It is just a discount we are going to subtract 24475
97.899.99 - 24475 = 73424.99
Now we are going to find 3.75%
To make this easier we are going to multiply 3.75 by 4 so it is 15%
To again make this easier we are going to find 10% of 73424.99 (divide 73424 by 10)
10% of 73424.99 = 7342.50
Now we are going to find 5% to make it 15%
Divide 7342.50 by 2
7342.50/2 = 3671.25
Now we are going to add them together
3671.25 + 7342.50 = 11013.75
Therefore
15% of 73424.99 is 11013.75
We are now going to divide 11013.75 by 4 because we multiplied the 3.75 by 4
11013.75/4 = 2753.44
Now we are going to add this to the subtotal
73424.99 + 2753.44 = $76178.43
Hector paid a total of $76178.43
97,899.99/4 = 24475.00(rounded to nearest 100th)
Since It is just a discount we are going to subtract 24475
97.899.99 - 24475 = 73424.99
Now we are going to find 3.75%
To make this easier we are going to multiply 3.75 by 4 so it is 15%
To again make this easier we are going to find 10% of 73424.99 (divide 73424 by 10)
10% of 73424.99 = 7342.50
Now we are going to find 5% to make it 15%
Divide 7342.50 by 2
7342.50/2 = 3671.25
Now we are going to add them together
3671.25 + 7342.50 = 11013.75
Therefore
15% of 73424.99 is 11013.75
We are now going to divide 11013.75 by 4 because we multiplied the 3.75 by 4
11013.75/4 = 2753.44
Now we are going to add this to the subtotal
73424.99 + 2753.44 = $76178.43
Hector paid a total of $76178.43
