Question

The cost of a computer is $849. the store is offering a 20% discount and a sales rax of 6% is added after the discount. what is the total cost of the tv?

Answer 1

Okay, so first, we need to find the discounted rate of the TV:

(1 - 0.2)849 = 0.8(849) = $679.20

Now that we know this, we solve for the price with sales tax:

1.06(679.20) = $719.952 (this can be rounded to 719.95)

The total cost of the TV is $719.95
