Question

Darrin lives in Washington, D.C., which has a sales tax of 6%. He just bought a video camera whose full price was $620, but after sending in a rebate form, he later received a check in the mail for $95. What was the total amount that Darrin ended up paying after receiving the rebate? A.$562.20 B.$556.50 C.$525.00 D.$657.20

Answer 1

562.20 So the answer is A.

Answer 2

Answer: Option 'A' is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Cost of video camera = $620

Rate of sales tax = 6%

Amount of sales tax is given by

$\dfrac{6}{100}\times 620\\\\=\ 37.2$

Total amount after sales tax is given by

$\ 620+\ 37.2\\\\=\ 657.20$

Amount of rebate = $95

So, final amount that Darrin ended up paying after receiving the rebate is given by

$\ 657.20-\ 95\\\\=\ 562.20$

Hence, option 'A' is correct.
