Answer:
1560.38
Step-by-step explanation:
As far as I know, a sales tax is never calculated until money changes hands. So the rebate is the first amount to take place.
1560 - 100 = 1460
Now if the purchaser agrees to this amount and does anything to pay partially or in full, the tax is added.
Total Cost = 1460 * (1.06875)
Total Cost = 1560.38
Edit
You have to be very careful when you use a term like rebate. Rebate is a very special kind of discount. Your purchase has to qualify for a rebate. Apparently this one does. If you are willing to spend 1560 on something, the merchant selling the product offers you a rebate to help you decide.
If the TV cost is 1200 you may not get the rebate.
You can do this 2 ways, one is knowing the special right triangles called triplets. An example of a triplet would be 3-4-5 where the largest value is the hypotenuse. In this example, the other 2 sides are 3 and 4 and the missing side is the hypotenuse, so using the knowledge of triplets, we can find that the hypotenuse is 5.
algebraically, we can use the Pythagorean theorem; a^2+b^2=c^2 where a and b are the opposite and adjacent and where c is the hypotenuse. We can then substitute in the values to get : 3^2 + 4^2 = c^2. When simplified, we get 9+16=c^2. Simplify further, and get 25=c^2. Now we Square root both sides to solve for C. Finally, we get C=5. Your missing side is 5.
