Question

a sno-cone michine priced at $138 is on sale for 20%off. the sales tax rate is 6.75%. what is the price of the sno-cone machine after the discount and sales tax?

Answer 1

Cost of a sno-cone machine = $ 138

The discount on the sno-cone machine = 20%

Price of the sno-cone machine after the discount :-

= 138 - 20% of 138

`= 138 - (20)/(100) * 138`

`= 138 - ((20 * 138))/(100)`

`= 138 - (2760)/(100)`

`\texttt{= 138 - 27.6}`

`=$ 110.4`

Which means the price of the sno-cone machine after a 20% discount would be = $110.4 .

Sales tax on the sno-cone machine = 6.75%

Cost of the sno-cone machine after the sales tax :-

`= ((6.75+100))/(100) * 110.4`

`= 110.4 × (106.75)/(100)`

`= 110.4 × 1.0675`

`= $117.852`

Therefore , the price of the sno-cone machine after the discount and sales tax would be = $117.852
