Answer 1

Given:

• 850 dollars is the original price of the cell phone.
• (discount) coupon for 15% off
• tax is 13 percent.

------------------------------------------------------------------

original price - discount = sales price

  `(15)/(100)` ) = sales price

• ANSWER: $722.50 or
  `(1445)/(2)`

Include 13% tax... price + sales tax = total price of the phone

• 722.50 + (722.50 x
  `(13)/(100)` ) = ?
