Question

a subscription to a live streaming program normally costs $39 but it is on sale for 25% off.An 8% tax is added at checkout. what is the total cost?

Answer 1

To calculate the total cost of the subscription, we need to consider the discount and the tax.

Calculate the discount amount: Discount = 25% of $39 Discount = 0.25 * $39 Discount = $9.75

Subtract the discount from the original price: Sale price = Original price - Discount Sale price = $39 - $9.75 Sale price = $29.25

Calculate the tax amount: Tax = 8% of the sale price Tax = 0.08 * $29.25 Tax = $2.34

Add the tax to the sale price to find the total cost: Total cost = Sale price + Tax Total cost = $29.25 + $2.34 Total cost = $31.59

Therefore, the total cost, including the discount and tax, is $31.59.
