Answer 1

584 dollars will be your answer

Answer 2

Original price of the iPhone = $1200.00

Percentage of discount given for memorial day = 35%

Cost of the iPhone after the discount :

`= 1200 - 35\% \: \: of \: \: 1200`

`= 1200 - (35)/(100) * 1200`

`= 1200 - (42000)/(100)`

`= 1200 - 420`

`=\color{hotpink} \$ \: 680`

Thus, the price of the iPhone after the discount = $680

Percentage of sales tax applied on the discounted price = 8%

Sales tax :

`= 8\% \: \: of \: \: 1200`

`= (8)/(100) * 1200`

`= (9600)/(100)`

`= \color{hotpink}\$ \: 96`

Sales tax = $96

Price of iPhone after sales tax :

`= 680 - 96`

`=\bold\color{hotpink} \$ \: 584`

Therefore, the final price of the phone = $584
