Question

A customer buys a different DVD that has an original selling price of $28. The DVD is discounted by 15%. The customer must pay a 5% sales tax on the discounted price of the DVD. What is the total amount, in dollars, the customer pays for the discounted DVD?

Answer 1

• $24.99

Explanation:

Given:

• Original price = $28
• Discount = 15%
• Sales tax = 5%

Total amount is:

• (28 - 15%) + 5% =
• (28*(100 - 15)/100) * (100 + 5)/100 =
• 28*0.85*1.05 =
• 24.99
