A baseball bat cost $30 each from a manufacturer. If a store purchases more than 10 bats, the store receives a 15% discount on the total order. A store ordered 24 bats. What was the total amount of the order before sales tax?

Respuesta :

Answer:

$612 was the total amount of the order before sales tax.

Step-by-step explanation:

30 × 24

720

$720 is the full order without the discount being applied

24 is more than 10 bats so the discount will be applied

Convert the percentage into a decimal (move the decimal place two places to the left)

(30 × 24) × (.15)

720 × .15

108

$108 is the discount off the full order of 24 bats

720 - 108

612

$612 is the full order, including the discount
