Answer:
<u>Joel will have to pay $ 159.60 for the tablet.</u>
Step-by-step explanation:
1. Information given to us to answer the question correctly:
Discount percentage of the tablets = 20%
Original cost of the tablet = $ 190
Sales tax = 5%
2. How much will Joel pay for the tablet? Show your work in your notebook. Remember to use $.
Let's find the discounted price and the sales tax for that price, this way:
Discounted price = Original price - Discount
Discounted price = 190 - (190 * 0.2)
Discounted price = 190 - 38 = 152
Sales tax of the discounted price = 152 * 0.05
Sales tax = 7.60
Joel will have to pay = Discounted price + Sales tax
Joel will have to pay = 152 + 7.60
<u>Joel will have to pay = $ 159.60</u>
