Question

Shawn wants to buy a bowling ball that typically costs $120. Currently, the bowling ball is on sale for 13% off. As a member of the bowling league, Shawn is also entitled to an additional 15% discount off the sale price of the bowling ball. If the sales tax in Shawn's state is 7.5%, what is the final price that Shawn will have to pay for the bowling ball?

Answer 1

95.40

Explanation:

120x.13=15.60. discount

120-15.60=104.40 sales price

104.40x.15=15.66 additional discount

104.40-15.66=88.74 additional sales price

88.74x.075=6.66 sales tax

88.74+6.66=95.40 total price
