Question

The purchase price of an iPad is $650. What is the total price if the sales tax rate is 8% and there is a 15% off sale today?

Answer 1

$599.72

Explanation:

8% of 650 is $52 so you add that to $650 which comes up to $702, then you find 15% of the total price, which is $105.30 you subtract that from the total price and you come up with $599.72.

Answer 2

Original cost + tax = Total cost

650+0.08(650) =

650+52 = $702
