Answer 1

The discount on the computer is $297. The cost before tax is $693. The cost with tax included is $762.30.

Step-by-step explanation:

a) The discount on the computer is calculated by multiplying the original price of $990 by the discount percentage of 30%. 30% of $990 is $297, so the discount is $297.

b) To find the cost before tax, subtract the discount of $297 from the original price of $990. $990 - $297 = $693. So, the computer will cost $693 before tax.

c) To calculate the cost with tax included, you need to add the tax amount to the price before tax. The tax is 10% of $693, which is $69.30. Adding the tax to $693 gives us a total cost of $693 + $69.30 = $762.30.
