Question

An item regularly priced at $80 is on sale for 20% off. There is a 3% sales tax. What is the sale price before sales tax?

Answer 1

the sale price before the sale tax is $ 60 and the sales taxes will be $ 180

Answer 2

The answer is $64.

Explanation:

An item regularly priced at $80 is on sale for 20% off.

This amount becomes:

`0.20*80=16` dollars

So, price after discount is
`80-16=64` dollars

Given is that there is a 3% sales tax.

So, sales tax must have been applied to $64 before final bill.

And we have to tell the sale price before tax, so the answer is $64.

Therefore, the answer is $64.
