Question

A video game originally costs $63, but if you buy it before the end of May there is a 25% off sale. The sales tax is 9.5%. What is the final price of the video game if you buy it before the end of May?

Answer 1

Answer: $53.24

Explanation:

Find the sales tax:

9.5*63.00=598.5

Then divide 598.5 by 100: 598.5/100= 5.985

Round: $5.99 ( sale tax amount )

Now we find the discount: 25*63.00= 1,575

Then divide it by 100 : 1,575/100= $15.75 ( discount amount )

Take the original price of the game and subtract it by the discount amount, then add the sales tax amount: 63.00-15.75= 47.25+5.99= $53.24

Answer: $53.24
