Question

A store is advertising a sale with 10% off all items in the store. The sales tax is 5%. A 55-inch

television is regularly priced at $855. What is the total price of the television, including sales tax,

if it was purchased on sale?

Answer 1

$812.25

Explanation:

Given data

Cost of TV= $855

Discount= 10%

Tax= 5%

Let us find the amount of the Discount

=10/100*855

=0.1*855

=$85.5

Let us find the amount of the Tax

=5100*855

=0.05*855

=$42.75

Hence the cost of the TV is

=855+42.75-85.5

=897.75-85.5

=$812.25
