Question

A laptop computer that you want to purchase was originally priced at $775. You will receive a 20% student discount, and the sales tax rate is 8%. How much money will you pay for the laptop? Round to the nearest cent if needed.

Answer 1

669.60

Explanation:

775 is the original price so multiply 775 by 0.2 to find 20% of 775 which is 155. Subtract 155 from 775 to find how much you are saving. Next, multiply that number with 1.08.
