Question

A cd usually sells for $12.00. If the cd is 10% off, and sales tax is 5%, what is the total price of the cd, including tax?

Answer 1

$11.34 Discounted Price Including Tax

Explanation:

CD is $12.00

10 percent off of 12 dollars is:

12 x .10 = $1.2

12 - 1.2 = $10.8 WITHOUT TAX!!

5/100 = 0.05

0.05 x 10.8 = .54 (Tax itself)

10.8 (Discounted price) + .54 (Tax) = $11.34 Discounted Price Including Tax
