Complete question :

Lilian purchased a violin form smash music stores. It regularly sold for $670, but wa son slaw for 10% off. She also had to pay 8% sales tax. She bought it on the installment plan and paid 15% of the total cost with tax as a down payment. Her payments were $58 per month for one year. What is her sales tax?

Answer:

$48.24

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Sales price = 670

Discount = 10% off

Sales tax = 8%

Discounted price = (1 - 0.1) * 670

Discounted price = 0.9 * 670 = $603

Hence, purchase price = $603

Hence, sales tax = 8% of purchase price

8% of $603

0.08 * 603 = $48.24
