Question

A gas grill originally priced at 399 is on sale for 30% off

what is the sales price of the grill?
sales tax is 8.375% find the price you will pay (including tax)

Answer 1

$302.69

Explanation:

399 x 30% = 119.7 # finding how much you save

399 - 119.7 = 279.3 # how much the item costs with the sale

279.3 x 8.375 = 23.39 # the sales tax for the discounted item

297.3 + 23.39 = 302.69 # adding sales tax to the discounted item

I think this is right. I was never that great at sales tax and discount.
