Question

Jason is buying a new chrome book that cost $199.50. If it is on sale for 15% off and he has to pay 7% sales tax , what will Jason have to pay for the chrome book?

Answer 1

$183.54 is the amount Jason will have to pay for the chrome book.

Explanation:

Cost price of the new chrome book = $199.50

Percentage of discount on the price of new chrome book = 15%

Discount price =
`(15)/(100)* \$199.50=\$29.925`

Percentage of sales tax on the price of new chrome book = 7%

Tax to be paid =
`(7)/(100)* \$199.50=\$13.965`

Total amount paid by Jason :

$199.50 - $29.925 + $13.965 = $183.54

$183.54 is the amount Jason will have to pay for the chrome book.
