Question

Zoe went on a shopping trip to Fairfax. She purchased a barbecue grill originally priced at $600 but discounted 50%. If sales tax in Fairfax is 15%, what was the total cost?

Answer 1

Answer:

The total cost is $345

Step-by-step explanation:

Zoe  purchased a barbecue grill originally priced at $600

Discount % = 50%

So, cost after discount = $600-50\%(600)$

Cost after discount =300

Sales tax in Fairfax is 15%

So, cost including tax = 300+0.15(300)

Cost including tax = 345

Hence The total cost is $345
