the price. A discount was then
applied by multiplying the total price
by 0.90. What was the total cost of
the game system including the sales
tax and discount?

a.273.56
b.278.06
c.287.94
d.289.79

Answer 1

287.94 (c)

Explanation:

So first we calculate the cost of the game system after tax is added:

$299 × 1.07= $319.93

$319.93 IS THE PRICE OF THE GAME SYSTEM AFTER TAX IS ADDED.

Then we calculate the price after discount:

$319.93×0.90= $287.937

Even though the aswer isn't exact whe rounded off the answer is $287.94.

SO THE FINAL ANSWER IS $287.94.

HOPE IT HELPED

First find the amount of tax by multiplying by 1.07 to the original cost

299 * 1.07

319.93

Then apply the discount to the new price of 319.93

319.93 * .90

287.937

Rounding to the nearest cent

287.94
