Question

Suppose you have a coupon for a 20% discount. You buy a game that costs $38. The sales tax rate is 5.5%. Sales tax applies to the cost after the discount. What is the total cost of the game?

Answer 1

$32.072 ≈ $32.07
20% of $38 is equal to $7.60
$38 - $7.60 = $30.40
5.5% of $30.40 = 1.672
$30.40 + $1.672 = $32.072
