Question

PLEASE HELP!!! A $950 computeris on sale for 15% off. If sales tax is 6% will this computer cost including tax?

Answer 1

$855.95

Explanation:

So We can first multiply the original price by 0.85 becuase its 15 percent off and we’re paying 85 percent of the original price basically.

You’ll get 807.50.

Now to find the sales tax we multiply that by 1.06 becuase the 100 percent is the price now and we’re just adding 6 percent so 1.06, and you’ll get 855.95

So no adding and subtracting and that takes off 2 steps and its way quicker

So the final answer is $855.95

Explanation:

15% of 950 is 142.5.
