Question

the Smith wants to buy a new computer. The regular price is $765 .The store is offering a 30% discount and the sales tax of 6% is added after the discount. What is the final cost of the TV​

Answer 1

567.63

Explanation:

To find the discount, take the original price times the discount percent

discount = 765*30%

= 765 *.3

=229.5

The new price is the original price minus the discount

new price =765-229.5

=535.50

Now we need to find the tax. Tax is the new price times the tax rate

tax =535.5 * 6%

535.5*.06

32.13

To find the final price. we add the tax to the new price

final price = new price + tax

=535.5+32.13

567.63
