The price of an all-access ticket to the fair is $42.99 before tax. Roland bought the all-access ticket for 40% off. He then paid 7% sales tax on the discounted price.

He paid $27.60.

Step-by-step explanation:

The price of an all-access ticket to the fair is $42.99 before tax.

Ronald bought the all-access ticket for 40% off.

After discount of 40% the cost of the ticket = 42.99 - (40% of 42.99)

= 42.99 - (0.40 * 42.99)

= 42.99 - 17.196

= $25.79

He then paid 7% sales tax on the discounted price.

= 25.79 + (7% of 25.79)

= 25.79 + (0.07 * 25.79)

= 25.79 + 1.80

= $27.599 rounded to $27.60

He paid $27.60.
