Question

A microwave is $299.99 but is on sale for 15% off. With

7.5% tax, what is the final price of the microwave?

Answer 1

$274.12

Explanation:

The microwave is 15% off from its original price of 299.99. This means that the microwave is only 85% of its price from its original price. To find its discounted price, we do 0.85 (85%) *299.99= 254.99. Then, with the tax added, we do 1.075 * 254.99 (1.075 is the price percentage with the tax) to get 274.12
