Question

Heron wants to buy a video game. The price is regularly priced at 55 dollars. The store has a discount of 20% off and a sales tax of 6%. How much will Heron pay for the video game

Answer 1

The amount paid by Heron for the video game is $46.64.

Explanation:

Here, the marked price of the video game = $55

The discount percentage on the video game = 20%

Calculating 20% of the $55, we get:

`(20)/(100) * 55 = 11`

So, the discount offered on the video game = $11

Selling Price = Marked Price - Discount

=$55 - $11 = $44

Now, the tax percentage on the video game = 6%

Calculating 6% of the $44, we get:

`(6)/(100) * 44 =2.64`

So, the tax on the video game = $2.64

New Selling Price = Selling Price + Tax

=$44 + $2.64 = $46.64

So, the amount paid by Heron for the video game is $46.64.
