Answer:

The final price for the coffee table is $98.9.

Explanation:

1. First, is to convert the percentage to decimal form

We can do this by changing 7.5% to decimal number by dividing 7.5 by 100, we get:

\frac{7.5}{100}

100

7.5

= 0.0750.075

2. Then multiply 0.075 to the original price of $115

0.075(115) = 8.625

Then, add 8.625 to the original price of $115, we get:

115 + 8.625 = $123.625

3. After this, we subtract the 20% discount to $123.625

We can do this by converting 20% to decimal form, we get:

\frac{20}{100}

100

20

= 0.20.2

Then, multiply $123.625 by 0.2, we get:

123.625(0.2) = $24.725

4. Then subtract 24.725 from $123.625, we get:

123.625 -123.625−24.725 = $98.9

Final price of the table coffee which is on sale by 20% with a sales tax of 7.5% is $98.9.
