Question

A coffee table is on sale for 20% off the original price of $115.

If there is 7.5% sales tax, what is the final price of the coffee table?

Answer 1

the final tax will be $ 97.9 of the coffe table

Answer 2

$98.9.

Explanation:

1. We reduce the original price by 20%.

That is $115 - ($115*0.2)=$92

2. We add 7.5% tax on the discounted price to get the final price.

$92+($92*.075)=$98.9

Final price is $98.9
