a box of clarinet reeds sells for $5.8 but is on sale at 25% off. If there is a sales tax of 6%, the total cost of one box is

a) $5.52
b) $5.64
c) $6
d) $6.36
e) $6.48

this question seems so vague to me. can anyone straighten this out?

DO you find it vague because there's not a correct answer?
I first thought you meant it was worded vaguely ( which i sort of agreed).
I didn't know if the given price was with the 25% off, or we were supposed to take 25% off the price. bottom line, with either assumption, there's not a correct answer.

where did you get this question?
