Question

At Best Buy they have a 60" TV that sells for $1250 and is on sale for 15% off. If the sales tax is 6.5%, what is the final cost?

Answer 1

Explanation:

The sale price = Initial Cost - 15% of the initial Cost

The sale price = 1250 - 15/100 * 1250

The sale price = 1250 - 187.5

The Sale Price = 1062.5

Now you add on the sales tax

Cost with Sales Tax = 1062.50 + 6.5/100 * 1063

Cost with Sales Tax = 1062.50 + 69.06

Cost with Sales Tax = 1131.56 dollars.
