In their advertisement this weekend, L&M Fleet supply said they were having a sale in which they would pay the sales tax (6.96%) for you. In the fine print, they said that really what they would do is take 6.96% off of your total then charge you 6.96% sales tax.

Let's assume you purchase an item for $120.

How much would you pay for your purchase using their algorithm for computing the cost.

Is their algorithm consistent with their stated advertisement?

• no
• yes

Why or why not?

• You pay less than what is advertised
• You pay exactly what is advertsed
• You pay more than what is advertised
