Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
A sales tax is never applied until money actually changes hands.
So you need to start by taking 50% off.
50% 0f 80 dollars = 50/100 * 80 = 4000/100 = 40
So the cost of the painting = 80 - 40 = 40
Now apply the sales tax
10% of 40 dollars = 10/100 * 40 = 400/100 = 4
The total cost = 40 + 4 = 44 dollars
