Question

Last week, Connor bought the A-wing Starfighter

lego set. It retais for
199.99. He redeemed a 15% off coupon. He paid 7% sales tax. How much did he pay?

Answer 1

The total amount Connor paid = $181.9

Explanation:

Cost of A-wing Starfighter lego set = 199.99

Coupon = 15%

Sales tax = 7%

We need to find total amount he paid.

First he redeemed the coupon, so we will find 15% of 199.99 and subtract this amount from actual cost

15% of 199.99

Solving:

`15\% \ of \ 199.99\\=(15)/(100)*199.99\\=29.99`

So, He received discount of $29.99

The cost will be: $199.99 - $29.99 = $170

Now, there is 7% sales tax. We will find 7% of 170 and add that amount to the cost.

`7\% \ of \ 170\\=(7)/(100)*170\\11.9`

So, sales tax will be $11.9

The total amount Connor paid = $170+$11.9 = $181.9
