Question

At best buy they have a 42" TV that sells for $1250 and is on sale 15% and sales tax is 6%.What is the final cost?

Answer 1

Ok so
sale is 15% off
and add 6% tax

100-15=85
100+6=106

therefor
1250 with 15% discount plus 6% tax means
1250 times 85% times 106% =
1250 times 0.85 times 1.06=1126.25
final cost=$1126.25

Answer 2

First Find 15% of the original price to find the sales price.

1250 x 0.15= 187.50

1250 - 187.50= 1062.5

Then to find your tax, multiply 1062.50 by 0.06.

1062.50 x 0.06= 63.75

Your total price would be: 1126.25 :)
