Question: Your video streaming subscription costs $14 a month. If you're evenly splitting the cost with your friend, how much do you pay in total after the first year for this service?
Answer: An even split is 50%. If the monthly subscription is $14, but I pay only 50% that means I pay every month $14 * 50% = $7. We know that in 1 year there are 12 months. Therefore if each month I pay $7, in 12 months I'd pay $7 * 12 = $84. The answer is 84.
[Question]A shopping center sells T-shirts at $8 each, a sweater at $18, and a jacket at $80. The jacket is on sale with a 10% discount. The sales tax is 5%. Kevin wants to buy six T-shirts, four sweaters, and five jackets for his children. How much does Kevin have to pay for all the items, including the sales tax?
[Answer]The six T - shirts cost 6 x $8 = $48. The four sweaters cost 4 x $18 = $72. And five jackets normally cost 5 x $80 = $400. So, a discount of 10 / 100 x $400 = $40 for the five jackets. Thus, the selling price of the five jackets is $400 - $40 = $360. Hence, the total cost of all the items is $48 + $72 + $360 = $480. The sales tax is equal to 5 / 100 x $480 = $24. Therefore, Kevin has to pay $480 + $24 = $504. including the sales tax. The answer is 504.
