Question

Mr. Wilson wants to buy a new

computer. The regular price is
$1,049. Mr. Wilson has a 20% off
coupon. After using the coupon,
he must pay a sales tax of 5.25%.
What is the final cost of the
computer?

Answer 1

1. Find how much the 20% discount is.
1049*.20= 209.8

Subtract that from the original price.
1049-209.8=839.2

2. Find the sales tax of the computer after the discount.
839.2*.0525=44.058

Add that to your discounted total.
839.2+44.058=883.258

So the final cost would be $883.26
