Answer:
<em>$528</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
A. Calculating The Markdown Price
X=Markdown price
Original price: $600
Markdown rate: 20%
100%-20%=80%
The TV's price is now 80% of what it originally was.
100x=48000
x=480
The price of the TV after being marked down is $480.
B. Calculating The Sales Tax
Y=Total sales tax
TV price: $480
Sales tax: 10% or 0.1
y=480*0.1
y=48
The total sales tax is $48
C. Calculating Your Total
x+y=total
480+48=total
total=528
You in total pay $528 for the TV.
