Question

suppose you have a coupon for 20% discount you buy a game that costs $38 the sales tax rate is 5.5% sales tax applies to the cost after the discount what is the total cost of the game

Answer 1

0.2 times 38 = 7.60
38 - 7.60= 30.40
30.40 times 0.055= 1.672 which is about 1.67
1.67 + 30.40 = 32.07

So the total cost of the game including the discount and tax is 32.07.
Hope this helps!

Answer 2

$32.072 ≈ $32.07
20% of $38 is equal to $7.60
$38 - $7.60 = $30.40
5.5% of $30.40 = 1.672
$30.40 + $1.672 = $32.072
