Question

Clyde purchased a 4000K television online from Best Buy. The television retails for $749, but Best Buy also offered a 15% discount off the retail price. If the tax rate is 8.25%, how much did Clyde pay for the television at checkout? Round to two decimal places. $702.54 $689.17 $810.79 $729.71

Answer 1

$689.17

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find the answer, first you have to calculate the price of the TV after the 15% discount by calculating 15% of the price and subtracting that result from the price:

$749*15%=112.35

$749-$112.35=$636.65

Now, you have to found the amount of the tax and add that to the price:

$636.65*8.25%=$52.52

$636.65+$52.52=$689.17

According to this, the answer is that Clyde paid $689.17 for the television at checkout.
