Question

A sno-cone machine priced at 139$ is on sale for 20% off. The sales tax rate is 6.75%. What is the price of the sno-cone machine after the discount and sales tax? round it to the nearest hundredth

Answer 1

Sales Tax R = 6.75%

Initial price= $139

First find 20% off

Then

139 x 20/100 = $27.8

New price is $139 - $27.8 = $111.2

Now find tax rate

= 111.2 x 6.75/100= $ 7.506

Then answer is

Price of sno- cone machine = $111.2 - 7.506 = $103.70 dollars
