Answer:

The cost of the electric scooter after the discount and

sales tax will be: $248.24

Explanation:

The regular price of an electric scooter = $290

Discount = 20%

The discount price = 20% × 290

= 20/100 × 290

= $58

The price after the discount = $290 - $58 = $232

Sales tax = 7%

Sales tax amount = 7% × 232

= 7/100 × 232

= $16.24

The cost after the discount and sales tax = $232 + $16.24

= $248.24

Thus, the cost of the electric scooter after the discount and

sales tax will be: $248.24
