Question

A television regularly costs $180, but it is on sale for 40% off. There is a 5% sales tax on the sales price. How much does the television cost after the dicount and the sales tax

Answer 1

$113.40

Explanation:

TV = $180

40% = 40/100 = .4

$180 * .4 = $72

$180 - $72 = $108 is the sales price.

Sales tax

5% = 5/100 = .05

$108 * .05 = $5.40

$108 + $5.40 = $113.40

The TV costs $113.40 including tax, after the discount.
