Question

Jackson purchased a pack of game cards that was on sale for 22% off. The sales tax in his county is 6%. Let y represent the original price of the cards. What is the final cost of the cards

Answer 1

Answer:

Final cost = 0.9328y

Step-by-step explanation:

Assume,

Original price = y

Given:

Discount = 22%

Sales tax = 6%

Computation:

Sales tax will be added on sale value

So,

Sales price = y[100%-22%]

Sales price = 0.88y

Price after sales tax :

Final cost = 0.88y[100% + 6%]

Final cost = 0.88y[106%]

Final cost = 0.9328y
