Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Original cost = $32

Discount = 30% of 32

$=\frac{30}{100}*32\\\\=\frac{3*32}{10}\\\\=\frac{96}{10}\\\\=9.6$

Selling price =  32 - 9.60 = $22.40

Tax = 6.75% of 22.40

$=\frac{6.75}{100}*22.40\\\\= 1.512$

= $ 1.51

Total cost with discount and tax = 22.40 - 1.51 = $ 20.89
