Question

Best Buy is selling a 62" TV for $1,250. The TV is on sale for 15% off and there is a 6% sales tax. What is the final cost of the TV? Please help me I don't know how to do it

​

Answer 1

The final cost of the TV would be $1,063.50.

To calculate this:

First, calculate the discount by multiplying the original price of the TV ($1,250) by 15% (0.15). This equals $187.50.

Subtract the discount from the original price of the TV ($1,250 - $187.50 = $1,062.50)

Next, calculate the sales tax by multiplying the price after the discount ($1,062.50) by 6% (0.06). This equals $63.75

Finally, add the sales tax to the price after the discount ($1,062.50 + $63.75 = $1,063.50)

Answer 2

final cost of 42" TV after deducting 15% discount and adding 6.5% sales tax will be $1163.56
