Question

If you buy something at a 30% discount off the listed price of $ 5, but pay a sales tax of 10% after the discount is applied, how much do you end up paying? (answer should be in dollars)

Answer 1

Answer :: $3.85

Step-by-step explanation:

The listed price = $5

Discounted price = 30% of $5

$= \\ 5 \times \frac{30}{100 }$

therefore,

==> $1.5 are exempted

Thus he has to now pay=. $5 - $1.5=$3.5

but, 10% sales tax is also applied,

therefore,

Final price = (10% of $3.5) + ($3.5)

$\\ (3.5 \times \frac{10}{100}) + 3.5$

(3.5 × 0.1) + 3.5

==>0.35 + 3.5

==> $3.85

Therefore I will have to end up by paying $3.85 only.
