Question

At my favorite computer store, there was a sale of 20% off. I bought a $300

computer. If I payed 5% sales tax, what is my total cost? *

Answer 1

The total cost of the computer = $ 252

Explanation:

The cost of the computer = $300

The sale percentage of the computer = 20%

20% ( 300) = $60

The current price of the computer = 300 - 60 = $240

5% of salex tax on the computer = 5% (240) = 12

The total price = current price of the computer + sales tax

= 240 + 12

= $252
