77.04

Explanation:

Answer 2

STEP 1:
Sale Price= Cost - (Cost * Discount %)

Sale Price= $80 - (80 * 10%)
=80 - 8
=$72 sale price


STEP 2:
use sale price from step 1 in this equation

Final Price= Cost + (Cost * Tax %)

Final Price= $72 + (72 * 7%)
= 72 + 5.04
= $77.04


ANSWER: The final price after a 10% discount and 7% sale tax is $77.04.

Hope this helps! :)
