Question

A blender that normally costs $ 130 is on sale for 12 % off. What is the final cost of the blender if there is also an 8 % sales tax? Do not include the dollar sign in your answer. Round your answer to the nearest cent.

Answer 1

The final price of blender after sale off and sales tax = $123.552 A

Explanation:

Given as :

The costs of blender = $130

The sale off percentage = 12%

The sales tax applied on blender price = 8%

Now

The cost of blender after sale off = $130 - 12% of $130

The cost of blender after sale off = $130(
`(100 - 12)/(100)`)

I.e The cost of blender after sale off = $130 ×
`(82)/(100)` = $114.4

Again, sales tax of 8% is applied after sale off

So, Final price of blender = $114.4 + 8% of $114.4

Final price of blender = $114.4 (
`(108)/(100)`)

I.e Final price of blender = $123.552

Hence the final price of blender after sale off and sales tax = $123.552 Answer
