Question

How much do you pay (incl. tax) for a Blu-ray player

regular price of $150 with a 25% discount and a sales tax
of 8%?

Answer 1

First, we need to calculate the discount amount:

Discount = 25% of $150 = 0.25 x $150 = $37.50

The sale price after the discount is the regular price minus the discount:

Sale price = $150 - $37.50 = $112.50

Next, we need to calculate the sales tax on the sale price:

Sales tax = 8% of $112.50 = 0.08 x $112.50 = $9

Finally, we can calculate the total cost including tax:

Total cost = Sale price + Sales tax = $112.50 + $9 = $121.50

Therefore, the total cost including tax for the Blu-ray player is $121.50.
