Question

Mateo is buying a new pair of headphones from an electronic store. The headphones cost $15.50, but Mateo has a coupon that will reduce the price by $4.00. He must pay 6% sales tax on the discounted price of the headphones. How much will Mateo pay in total for the headphones, including the tax?

A. $4.93
B. $12.19
C. $12.43
D. $16.43

Answer 1

Headphones = $15.50
Coupon = 15.50 - 4.00 = 11.50

Sales Tax = 0.06 * 11.50 = 0.69

11.50 + 0.69 = 12.19

The answer is B.

Hope this helped☺☺
