Holiday Shopping Webquest

In this webquest, I shopped for 5 family members, but had to spend under $100.  I shopped on Amazon.com and found a gymnastics leotard for $12.59 (sister), a 6-pack of striped crew socks for $9.99 (mom), a multi-tasking pocket knife for $9.83 (dad), a monogrammed coffee mug for $11.10 (grandma), and a camouflage thermos for $17.99 (grandpa).  So my total price, before sales and tax, is $61.50.  Now, I just found out that there is 25% off sale.  I turned 25% into a decimal (0.25) and multiplied that by $61.50.  After I rounded my product to the nearest penny,  I got $46.12 as my new price!  But don't forget the tax!  7% is the tax, so I turned 7% into a decimal (0.07) and multiplied it by $46.12 and rounded my product to the nearest penny.  Once I rounded it, I added that amount to $46.12 to get my final price of $49.35.
