Question

Dylan and Alyssa are going shopping to buy their friend a birthday gift. The item they are planning to buy has a regular price of $36, but is on sale at 20% discount. The store has a sales tax rate of 8 %. What will be the final price that Alyssa and Dylan will have to pay? Be sure to show your work to receive full credit.

Answer 1

$31.104

Explanation:

Given :

Regular price = $36

Discount on sale = 20%

Discounted price = (100-20)%*36=0.8*36 = $28.8

Sales tax rate = 8% ;

Tax on sale = 8% * $28.8 = 2.304

Final amount that will have to be paid :

Discounted price + tax on sale

$28.8 + $2.304

= $31.104
