Question

Am purchased a television that was originally $300. He had a coupon for 35% off all electronics. How much did the television cost if he paid 6% tax on the sale price?

Answer 1

Answer: $206.70

Explanation:

The coupon reduced the price of the television by 35% to:

= 300 * ( 1 - 35%)

= 300 * 65%

= $195

He then had to pay a 6% tax:

= Price * ( 1 + tax)

= 195 * ( 1 + 6%)

= 195 * 1.06

= $206.70
