Bathing suits are $35 regular price and $24.55 on sale. if the tax rate is 6%, how much will you save on the total purchase by buying on sale? $26.02 $24.55 $11.08 $4.89

If solve this problem you will first take the regular price of the bathing suits and find the total price, after tax, of the item.

To turn 6% into a decimal divide 6/100 = .06
Next you can take ($35)(.06)= $2.10 then add that to $35 and you will get $37.10 as the total cost of the bathing suit.
You can also add a 1 in front of the decimal point and it will add the tax automatically. 
($35)(1.06) = $37.10

Follow the same step to find the total price of the bathing suit on sale.
($24.55)(1.06)= $26.02 total cost of the bathing suit on sale.

Next subtract the two numbers:
$37.10-$26.02=$11.08

By purchasing the bathing suit on sale you will save a total of $11.08
