Question

Sales tax is 6% using only one term write an expression to represent the discounted price of the phone including tax.

Answer 1

The price of phone is stated, taking the price of the phone as p and the discount on sale as 20%

Answer:

0.848p

Step-by-step explanation:

Price of phone = p

Sales tax = 6%

Discount on sale = 20%

With a 20% discount, the discounted price of the phone will be :

100%p - 20%p = 80%p = 0.8p

The sales tax will increase the price thus ;

0.8p + 6% of 0.8p

0.8p + 0.06 * 0.8p

0.8p + 0.048p

The cost of the phone including tax becomes ; (0.8p + 0.048p) = 0.848p
