Analyze Information
The skateboard costs $79.85.
The discount is 12%, or 0.12.
The sales tax is 7.25%, or 0.0725.
Formulate a Plan
Calculate the discount and subtract it from the original total. Calculate the sales tax and add it to the discounted price.
Solve
Discount: 0.12 × $79.85 ≈ $9.58
Skateboard − Discount = Sale Price
$79.85 − $9.58 = $70.27
Sales tax: 0.0725 × $70.27 ≈ $5.09
Sale Price + Sales Tax = Final Price
$70.27 + $5.09 = $75.36
The total cost of the skateboard is $75.36.

Answer 2

Answer:

Luis wants to buy a skateboard that usually sells for $79.99

all merchandise is discounted by 12% = 0.12

Discount amount = sale price * discount percentage

= 79.99 * 0.12 = 9.5988

Selling price after discount = 79.99 - 9.5988 = 70.3912

Now we apply sales tax for the price after discount

sales tax of 6.75 % = 0.0675

Tax amount = price after discount * tax percentage

= 70.3912 * 0.0675= 4.751406

the total cost of the skateboard = Price after discount + tax amount

=70.3912 + 4.751406 = 75.142606

$75.14 is  the total cost of the skateboard
