Answer 2

The total amount that Eunice paid is $1027.2

Explanation:

Given the price of the couch is $1200

She was charged a sales tax of 7% and got a discount of 20% because the store was having a sale

Price after sales tax and discount can be calculated

by the formula =
`$1200 *\left(1+(7)/(100)\right) *\left(1-(20)/(100)\right)$`

Solving,

`$1200 *\left((107)/(100)\right) *\left((80)/(100)\right)$`

= $1027.2

Therefore, Eunice paid a final price of $1027.2 after tax and discount.
