Question

A computer is priced at $1575, but is on sale for 15% off. What is the price of the computer

after the discount and 7.5% sales tax?

Answer 1

$1439.16

Explanation:

1.) 15% of 1575

1575 x 0.15 = 236.25

1575 - 236.25 = 1338.75

So 15% of $1575 = $1338.75

2.) $1338.75 with sales tax if 7.5%

1338.75 x 0.075 = 100.40625 rounded to the nearest hundredths place is 100.41

1338.75 + 100.41 = 1439.16

so you answer is $1439.16
