A calculator is listed for $110 and is on clearance for 35% off. Sales tax is 7%.
What is the cost of the calculator?

Answer 1

Answer:76.50

Step-by-step explanation:35% of 110=38.5

Then 110-38.5 = 71.5

Sale tax is 7% so 7% of 71.5 = 5.005

71.5 + 5.005 =76.50

Listed Price = $110

Clearance discount = 35%

Sales Tax = 7%

To Find:

Find the price of the of calculator

Solution

Find the price after discount:

Discount = 35%

Discount = 0.35 x 110

Discount = $38.50

Price after discount = 110 - 38.5

Price after discount = $71.50

Find the price after sales tax:

Sales Tax = 7%

Sales Tax = 0.07 x 71.50

Sales Tax = $5.00 (Round down to the nearest cents)

Price with sales tax = 71.50 + 5.00

Price with sales tax = $76.50

Answer: The calculator costs $76.50
