Question

Calculate the amount you would pay (including tax) for an item normally priced $1199 that is currently 30% off, for which you have an additional 10% off coupon, in an area where sales tax is 7%. (the discounts can be stacked or figured sequentially, tax must be applied after the discounted price is determined)

Answer 1

Answer: The amount you would pay (including tax) for the item is:

$755.37 + $52.88 = $808.25

Step-by-step explanation: irst, we calculate the amount of discount that is applied to the original price:

30% of $1199 = 0.3 x 1199 = $359.70

So, the discounted price is:

$1199 - $359.70 = $839.30

Next, we apply the additional 10% off coupon to this discounted price:

10% of $839.30 = 0.1 x $839.30 = $83.93

The final price after the coupon is applied is:

$839.30 - $83.93 = $755.37

Finally, we calculate the sales tax on this final price:

7% of $755.37 = 0.07 x $755.37 = $52.88

The amount you would pay (including tax) for the item is:

$755.37 + $52.88 = $808.25
