Question

Greg purchased a baseball bat at a 20% discount. The original cost of the bat was $95. How much will Greg pay for the bat if there is a 6% sales tax?​

Answer 1

$80.56

Explanation:

First determine the cost of the bat after the discount.

20% of 95 = .20x 95 = 19

95-19= $76

Next, you will calculate the additional cost of sales tax.

Sales tax rate = Sales tax percent / 100 (6/100) = .06

Sales tax = List price x Sales tax rate (76 x .06) = 4.56

Total tax equals $4.56

76+4.56= $80.56
