Luis wants to buy a skateboard that usually sells for $79.79. All merchandise is discounted by 12%. What is the total cost of the skateboard if Luis has to pay a state sales tax of 8.25%. Round your intermediate calculations and answer to the nearest cent.
The total cost of the skateboard is $ ____________.

Answer 1

$79.79 with a 12% discount = 70.22
i found that by
79.79 x 12 / 100 
957.48 / 100 
$9.57  then
79.79-9.57=70.22
now you have to add taxs so
70.22+8.25%=76.01
The total cost of the skateboard is $76.01.
