Question

Steve wants to use his 18% employee discount to buy a video game that has a regular price of $69.99. A 6.5% sales tax is applied to the discounted price. How much will he pay for the game, including sales tax?

Answer 1

$61.12

Explanation:

Price of the Video game = $69.99

Discount = 18%

Discount price = 18% of $69.99

= $69.99*18/100

= $12.6

Price after Discount = Price - Discount price

= $69.99 - $12.6

= $57.39

Sales tax = 6.5% applied to the discounted price

= 6.5% of $57.39

sales tax in dollars = $57.39 * 6.5/100

= $3.73

The amount he pays for the game = $57.39 + $3.73

= $61.12
