Question

A TV that usually sells for $195.72 is on sale for 20% off. If sales tax on the TV is 9%, what is the price of the TV, including tax? A. $169.10 B. $170.67 C. $248.96 D. $172.23

Answer 1

The total cost of the TV is: $181.57

Work: 195.72 x 0.20 (20%) = 39.14

195.72 - 39.14 = 166.58 <-- Was for the discount now you have to do the tax.

Now Tax, 166.58 + 14.99 = 181.57

Hope this helps!

Answer 2

195.72−(195.72×0.2)=156.576 156.576+156.576×0.09=170.67
