The martins want to buy a new computer the regular price is 849$ the store is offering a 20% discount and a sales tax of 6% is added after the discount how much is the discount?

Answer 1

The regular price of the computer is $849

The store offers a 20% discount

After the discount is applied, a 6% sales tax is added.

To determine the discount, you have to calculate how much the 20% of 849 is, to do so, multiply 20 by 849 and divide it by 100:

`(20\cdot849)/(100)=(16980)/(100)=169.8`

The discount is $169.8
