The final cost of skateboard will be $83.10

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Cost of skateboard = $98

Coupon = 20% off

Amount of discount = 20% of cost of skateboard

$Amount\ of\ discount=\frac{20}{100}*98\\\\Amount\ of\ discount=\frac{1960}{100}\\\\Amount\ of\ discount=\$19.6$

Cost of skateboard after discount = Cost of skateboard - Amount of discount

Cost of skateboard after discount = 98 - 19.6 = $78.4

Sales tax = 6%

Sales tax amount = 6% of discounted price

$Sales\ tax\ amount=\frac{6}{100}*78.4\\\\Sales\ tax\ amount=\frac{470.4}{100}\\\\Sales\ tax\ amount=\$4.70$

Final cost of skateboard = Discounted price + Sales tax

Final cost of skateboard = 78.40+4.70 = $83.10

The final cost of skateboard will be $83.10
