Question

you got a 15% coupon in the mail for presidents day/ before your couponis appled your sub total is 85.28. what is your final bill after your coupon is applied and you pay 6.5% tax

Answer 1

The amount of the discount is calculated by multiplying the subtotal by 15%:

discount = 0.15 x 85.28 = 12.79

The new subtotal after the discount is applied is:

new subtotal = 85.28 - 12.79 = 72.49

The tax on the new subtotal is calculated by multiplying the new subtotal by 6.5%:

tax = 0.065 x 72.49 = 4.71

The final bill, including the tax, is the sum of the new subtotal and the tax:

final bill = 72.49 + 4.71 = 77.20

Therefore, the final bill after the coupon is applied and the tax is paid is $77.20.
