Question

you have a coupon for 10% off a dvd that cost $15. if a tax of 8% is charged on the orginal amount, what will you pay for the DVD

Answer 1

Original price = $15

10% coupon = 10% x $15 = 0.10 x 15 = $1.50

Price after discount = $15 - $1.50 = $13.50

8% Tax = 8% x $15 = 0.08 x 15 = $1.20

 Final Price = $15 - $1.50 + $1.20 = $14.70

Answer: $14.70
