Question

Jaquez bought a new tablet that retails for $199. If the store is currently

running a promotion for 25% off and the sales tax in his state is 6.5%, what is
Jaquez's total at checkout?​

Answer 1

158.95 is his check out total

Answer 2

$ 158.95

Explanation:

Reduction = 25% of 199

= 0.25 * 199

= $ 49.75

Price of the tablet after reduction = 199 - 49.75 = $ 149.25

Sales tax = 6.5% of 149.25

= 0.065 * 149.25

= $ 9.70

Total price that he need to pay = 149.25 + 9.70

= $ 158.95
