Q. A ceramic vase was originally priced at $100\$100 but went on sale for 50%50\% off. If Ernesto bought the ceramic vase and paid 12%12\% sales tax, how much did he pay in total? \newline $\$ ____
  1. Calculate Discount Amount: Original price is $100\$100 and the discount is 50%50\%. So, let's find the discount amount. \newline100×0.50=$50100 \times 0.50 = \$50 discount.
  2. Subtract Discount from Original Price: Now we subtract the discount from the original price to get the sale price. $100−$50=$50\$100 - \$50 = \$50 sale price.
  3. Calculate Sales Tax: Next, we calculate the sales tax which is 12%12\% of the sale price. \newline$50×0.12=$6\$50 \times 0.12 = \$6 sales tax.
  4. Add Sales Tax to Sale Price: Finally, we add the sales tax to the sale price to find out the total Ernesto paid. $50+$6=$56\$50 + \$6 = \$56 total.
