Question

A customer walks in to your pharmacy and wants to buy a Blood Pressure Monitor. They choose one that retails for $79.99. Today is senior Tuesday and your customer is eligible for a 15% discount on the unit. What will the final price be after the discount and 5.0% sales tax are applied

Answer 1

$71.39

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation of the final price is shown below:

Final price = Purchase amount of blood pressure monitor - discount applied + sales tax

where,

Purchase amount of blood pressure monitor = $79.99

Discount = $79.99 × 15% = $11.9985

Sales tax is = ($79.99 - $11.9985) × 5% = $3.399575

So, the final price is

= $79.99 - $11.9985 + $3.399575

= $71.39
