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 aft
er the 10% discount and including 6% sales tax? [Assume tax is applied after the discount is applied.]
1 answer:
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
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 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.
