Max and Brenda went shopping for a table. They found one that they likes. The cost is $150.00 but there is a 25% off sale and they need to add 8% for the local sales tax. Max multiplied 150 x 0.75 to get the cost. He then multiplied the discounted amount by 1.08 to find the total cost. What was Max's total cost? Brenda multiplied 150 x 25%, and subtracted that amount from 150. She then multiplied the discounted price by 8%. She added the discounted price and the tax amount together to get the total cost. What was Brenda's total cost? How come the answers are the same?
