Question

Luis wants to buy a skateboard that usually sells for $135. At big AL's they are discounted 20%. What is the total cost of the skateboard if luis has to pay state sales tax of 9.25%

Answer 1

Answer:

117.99

Step-by-step explanation:

First step is to find the discount

Discount = original price * discount rate

               = 135 * 20%

                = 135*.20

                 =27

Take the discount from the original price and that is the new price

new price = original price - discount

                 = 135-27

                 =108

Now we need to find the tax

tax = new price * tax rate

       = 108 * 9.25%

       = 108 * .0925

        =9.99

The final price is the new price plus the tax

final price = new price + tax

                 = 108+9.99

                 =117.99
