Question

A customer uses a 50% coupon good toward any household cleaning product. if the customer's purchase consists of the items below, what is the final bill including a 6.5% sales tax? 1 greeting card $1.10 1 carpet shampoo $6.90 2 packs of gum $0.25 each 1 tube of toothpaste $2.50 1 soda $0.95

Answer 1

Here is the answer to the given problem above. Given the list of items above, since the 50% coupon only applies to any household cleaning product, this coupon will only apply to the carpet shampoo which has a price of $6.90. So 50% of this would be $3.45. So the rest of the prices of the other items would remain the same. So to sum it all, the total bill would be $8.50, without the sales tax. So we add the sales tax for this and the total would be this: $9.0525. The tax for this of 6.5% tax is 0.5525. Hope this answers your question. Have a great day!
