Question

Kitchen goods are on sale for 30% off their regular price. In addition,

all goods are subject to 6% tax and a $6 shipping charge. If c
represents the original cost of a blender, its total cost can be found
using the expression 1.06(0.7c) + 6. Find the total cost of a blender
that originally cost $65.

Answer 1

The original cost of a blender is $65.
Its total cost is $54.23

Answer 2

$54.23.

Explanation:

Let c represent the original cost of a blender.

We have been an expression
`1.06(0.7c)+6`, which represents the cost of an kitchen item after 30% off sale plus 6% tax and $6 shipping charges.

To find the total cost of a blender that originally cost $65, we will substitute
`c=65` in our given expression.

`1.06(0.7* 65)+6`

`1.06(45.5)+6`

`48.23+6`

`54.23`

Therefore, the total cost of the blender would be $54.23.
