Question

I need help with the first question in this picture

Answer 1

`\begin{gathered} sales\text{ price before }Tax\text{ = \$674.25} \\ \text{Tax = \$}54.78 \\ \text{Sales price with tax = \$729.03} \end{gathered}`

Step-by-step explanation:

Initial price of the TV = $899

discount in % = 25 % = 0.25

First, we will find the amount discounted:

`\begin{gathered} Amount\text{ discounted = }25\text{ \% }*\text{ 899} \\ Amount\text{ discounted = }0.25\text{ }*\text{ 899} \\ Amount\text{ discounted = \$224.75} \end{gathered}`

sales price after the discount was removed:

`\begin{gathered} sales\text{ price = }initial\text{ price - amount discounted} \\ sales\text{ price = 899 - 224.75} \\ sales\text{ price before }Tax\text{ = \$674.25} \end{gathered}`
`\begin{gathered} \text{Sales tax = 8.125 \% = 0.08125} \\ \text{Tax = sales price before tax }*\text{ sales tax} \\ \text{Tax = 674.25 }*\text{ 0.08125} \\ \text{Tax = \$}54.78 \end{gathered}`
`\begin{gathered} \text{Sales price with tax = sales price before tax + Tax} \\ \text{Sales price with tax = 674.25 + 54.78} \\ \text{Sales price with tax = \$729.03} \end{gathered}`
