Question

A TV that usually sells for $186.67 is on sale for 20% off. If sales tax on the TV is 8%, what is the price of the TV, including tax?

Answer 1

Answer:

$161.28288  or $161.28 if rounded

Step-by-step explanation:

first find 10% of the original cost

186.67/10 =18.667

18.667 x 2 = 37.334 (20%)

186.67 - 37.334 = 149.336

to find the tax, mulitple 149.336 x 1.08

1.08 because, 100% of the cost, plus 8% of the cost for tax

= 161.28288
