Question

A CD usually sells for $15.00. If the CD is 10% off, and sales tax is 6%, what is the total price of the CD, including tax?

Answer 1

the total price of the CD, including tax is $14.31

Explanation:

The computation of the total price of the CD including tax is shown below:

= Sale price - off percentage + sales tax

= $15 - ($15 × 10%) + 6% of the remaining value

= 15 - $1.5 + 6% of the remaining value

= $13.50 + 6% of $13.50

= $13.50 + $0.81

= $14.31

Hence, the total price of the CD, including tax is $14.31
