Question

- Mona Allen wants to buy a bed that costs $695. The city sales tax rate is 7%. In a nearby city the sales tax rate is 4%. How much less would the bed cost if Mona bought it in the nearby city?

Answer 1

$20.85 less.

Explanation:

City sales:

7% tax = 48.65

total bed cost = $743.65

Nearby City:

4% tax = 27.8

total bed cost = $722.8

city sale - nearby city

743.65 - 722.8

=20.85
