Question

peyton and Read are sharing the cost of a new video game. The game costs 65.00,but they have a coupon for 12% off. After including the 6% sales tax, how much will each pay toward the game.

Answer 1

Each will pay $30.316 toward the game.

Explanation:

Cost of game = $65

They have a coupon for 12% off.

So, cost of game after applying coupon =
`65-(12)/(100) * 65`

Cost of game after applying coupon =
`57.2`

tax % = 6%

Cost including tax =
`57.2+(6)/(100) * 57.2`

=
`60.632`

Now Peyton and Read are sharing the cost of a new video game.

So, cost for each person =
`(60.632)/(2)=30.316`

Hence each will pay $30.316 toward the game.
