Question

The cost of a computer is $849. The store is offering a 20% discount and a sales tax of 6% is added after the discount. What is the total cost of the tv?

Answer 1

Answer: The total cost of the tv is $719.95

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, to solve this problem we have to calculate the value of the discount percentage:

So:

• $849 x 0.20 = $169.8

The next step is to subtract that result to the cost of the computer.

• $849 -$ 169.8=$679.2

Then, we have to calculate the sale tax.

• $679.2 x 0.06= $40.752

Finally, we add the sale tax value to the cost of the tv with the discount.

• $679.2+ $40.752= $719.95

The total cost of the tv is $719.95

Answer 2

$849-20%=$679
$679+6%(sales tax)=$719
$719 is the total cost of the tv
