Answer 1

The total purchase price of the watch is: $9,300

$8,000 + (0.06 × $8,000) + (0.10 × 8,000) + $20

$8,000 + $480 + $800 + $20

Answer 2

Answer: Total purchase price of this watch is $9300.

Explanation:

Since we have given that

Retail price of watch = $8000

Rate of sales tax = 6%

Amount of sales tax becomes

`(6)/(100)* 8000\\\\=\$480`

Rate of excise tax = 10%

Amount of excise tax is given by

`(10)/(100)* 8000\\\\=\$800`

So, Amount of watch after sales tax becomes

`\$8000+\$480+\$800\\\\=$9280`

Amount of additional shipping charge = $20

Amount of watch after additional shipping charge becomes

`\$9280+20\\\\=\$9300`

Hence, Total purchase price of this watch is $9300.
