Question

Nathan took his car in for service and repairs. He had a coupon for 10% off. Which amount is closest to Nathan's total costs after the 10% discount and including 6% sales tax? [Assume tax is applied after the discount is applied.]

Answer 1

The right answer is Option A.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Labor = $276.06

Parts = $304.20

Others= $74.32

Total = 276.06+304.20+74.32 = $654.58

Discount = 10%

Amount of discount = 10% of total amount

$Amount\ of\ discount=\frac{10}{100}*654.58\\Amount\ of\ discount=\frac{6545.8}{100}\\Amount\ of\ discount= \ 65.46$

Remaining amount = Total amount - discount amount

Remaining amount = 654.58 - 65.46

Remaining amount = $589.12

Sales tax = 6%

Amount of sales tax = 6% of remaining amount

$Amount\ of\ sales\ tax=\frac{6}{100}*589.12\\Amount\ of\ sales\ tax=\frac{3534.72}{100}\\Amount\ of\ sales\ tax= \ 35.35$

Amount to be paid = Remaining amount + sales tax

Amount to be paid = 589.12 +35.35

Amount to be paid = $624.47

Rounding off to nearest whole number;

Total amount to be paid = $624

The right answer is Option A.
