Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the original price of the sofa is 1,029.00 and the sale price of the sofa is 1/3 the original price, it means that the sale price is

1/3 × 1029 = 343

A customer can get an additional 5%off discount off the sale price for paying with cash. This means that the amount that this customer would pay since he is paying cash is

343 - (5/100 × 343) = 325.85

Since at checkout, a 6.5% sales tax on the final price is added to the cost of the sofa, then the total cost of the sofa for this customer is

325.85 + (6.5/100 × 325.85) = 347.03025
