Question

Total Price: A bedroom set that normally sells for $1455 is on sale for 40% off. If sales tax rate is 2%, what is thetotal price of the bedroom set if it is bought while on sale?

Answer 1

The Solution:

Given:

Total price = $1455

Discount = 40%

Sales tax = 2%

`Discount=(40)/(100)*1455=\text{ 4}*145.5=\text{ \$}582`
`Sale\text{ price}=1455-582=\text{\$}873`

Add sale tax:

`(2)/(100)*(873)/(1)=\text{\$}17.46`

The total price is:

`873+17.46=\text{\$}890.46`

Answer:

$890.46
