Question

at best buy they have a 42'' TV sells for $1250. Sales tax is 6.5%. What is the total cost of the TV including tax?

Answer 1

the tv is 1250 dollores you will multiply that by 0.065 that is the sales tax which will be 81.25 then you will add this to the price of the tv and your total will be $1331.25. need more help let me know.

Answer 2

If the television is on sale for 15%, that means that the selling price before tax will be 100 - 15 = 5% of the original price.

1250 * 0.85 = $1062.5 ... this is your selling price BEFORE tax

Now, calculate your tax.

You would pay (1062.5) + (1062.5 * 0.065)

= 1062.5 + 69.06 (your tax)
= 1131.56 dollars
