The headphones were discounted by 30%, so this means he paid 70% of the original price ( 100% - 30% = 70%)

Multiply the original price by 70% to find the discounted price:

70% = 0.70

39.99 x 0.70 = $27.99

Part A) Multiply the discounted price by the sales tax 6%:

6% = 0.06

27.99 x 0.06 = 1.679 = $1.68 total sales tax.

Part B) Add the discounted price and the sales tax to get the total cost:

27.99 + 1.68 = $29.67 total cost.

Total amount paid = 27.99 + 1.68 = $29.67 Answer
