I have been absent for three days from my school and my homework got delivered to me and I don't understand it. Please help me with these questions:

Find the final balance in the accounts.

1) $450 at 6% simple interest for 2 years.

2) Sally bought a skirt on sale for 20% off. The price she paid after the discount was $24. What was the original price of the skirt?

3) My total bill at Walmart was $115 before tax. If the sales tax is 6%, what was the final bill I had to pay?

4) About 13% of a school's 782 students walks to school. How many students walk to school?

5) Haden loves to find a bargain. He found a shirt he likes at two different stores. Which one is the better deal?
SHIRT 1: Original price: $78; Discount: 25%
SHIRT 2: Original price: $60; Discount: 20%

6) Jamie bought a new CD collection at FYE. They were having a sale and everything in the store was 30% off. She ended up paying $20 for the CD collection after the discount. What was the original price of the CD collection?

Also, if you can please explain this concept to me, it would be appreciated :D
Thank you.
