Question

$75 before tax. Disc: 10% Tax: 7%, Tip: 20% what’s the total?

Answer 1

$102.75

Explanation:

Given the following question:

We are given a cost of 75 dollars and are being asked to find the total cost after adding a tip, tax, and disc to the cost. To find this answer we will use the formula to calculate percentages making sure we use 75 as our base for each addition to our total cost.

Formula to calculate percentages:


`(p* n)/(100)`

First the disc:


`(10* 75)/(100)`

`10*75=750`

`750/100=7.5`

`=7.5`

Next the tax:


`(7*75)/(100)`

`7*75=525`

`525/100=5.25`

`=5.25`

Last but not least the tip:


`(20*75)/(100)`

`20*75=1500`

`1500/100=15`

`=15`

Finally add:


`75+7.50+5.25+15=102.75`

`=102.75`

The total cost after adding the disc, tax, and the tip will be "$102.75."

Hope this helps.
