Question

Yvette lives in Wisconsin, which has a sales tax of 5%. She just bought a GPS unit whose full price was $275, but after sending in a rebate form, she latter received a check in the mail for $25. What was the total amount that Yvette ended up paying after receiving the rebate?

Answer 1

$263.75 is the answer :)

Answer 2

Answer: Yvette paid $26.75 after receiving the rebate

Explanation:

Since we have given that

Full price of GPS unit = $275

Rate of sales tax = 5%

So, Amount of tax is given by

`(5)/(100)* 275\\\\=\$13.75`

so, Amount of GPS after tax is given by

`\$275+\$13.75\\\\=\$288.75`

Now, Amount of rebate she received = $25

So, Amount she paying after receiving the rebate is given by

`\$288.75-\$25\\\\=\$263.75`

Hence, Yvette paid $26.75 after receiving the rebate.
