Question

Luis wants to buy a skateboard that usually sells for $79.80. All merchandise is discounted by 12%. What is the total cost of the skateboard if Luis has to pay a state sales tax of 6.25%. Round your intermediate calculations and answer to the nearest cent.

Answer 1

$74.61

Explanation:

79.80 * 0.12 = 9.576

79.80 - 9.576 = 70.224

70.224 * 0.0625 = 4.389

70.224 + 4.389 = 74.613 = $74.61
