Question

Ingrid bought a laptop that was 30% off the regular price of $1,050. If a 7% sales tax was added to the cost of the laptop, what was the total price Ingrid paid for it?

Answer 1

786.45

Explanation:

If we had a sale price of 30% off of $1,050

then the sale price is 70% of $1,050 or 0.7(1050)

Then we add 7% sales tax to that making the

final price paid 107% of [0.7(1050)] ...

1.07[0.7(1050)] = $786.45

Answer 2

Her total price would be $786.45
