Question

A blender that normally costs $130 is on sale for 12% off. What is the final cost of the blender if there is also an 8% sales tax? Round your answer to the nearest cent.

Answer 1

Answer:

$105.25

Step-by-step explanation:

First we need to know to price of the blender after the sale, so we are going to pay the 88% of the blender's price so the final price without the sale tax is going to be

$\ 130\times .88=\ 114.4$      (1)

Knowing this price we need to calculate the 8% of the total price

$\ 114.4 \times .08=\ 9.152$    (2)

We substract the result (2) from (1)

$\ 114.4 - \ 9.152 = 105.248$

Rounding this number to nearest cent the final result is:

$105.25
