Question

a store advertised a discount of 15% 0ff the listed price of every item.find the total cost,including a 6% sales tax of a stereo that has a price tag of $400

Answer 1

Since your discount is 15%, you will be paying 100% - 15% = 85% of the listed price.

$400 x 85% = $340 before tax

Then, since you're paying 6% tax on that, plus 100% of the discounted price, you're really paying 106% of the discounted rate.

$340 x 106% = $360.40 final price

Answer 2

The price of the stereo is 400
The price of the discount is 15% ( 15/100) or (0.15)
Therefore the cost of the stereo is 85% ( 100%-15% ) or (0.85)
Multiply
400 times 0.85 = 340.00
Taxes are 6%
Tax is usually on the non-sale price so use 6% of 400
0.06 times 400 = 24.00
Is there State taxes or County taxes, or luxury taxes?
If not add the cost and the taxes
340.00 + 24.00 = $364.00
Are there yearly service contracts involved in this sale?
From this information that is your cost, but be careful. Sometimes in very small print it says with a 2 year service contract, or only with trade in, or other phrases like that.
Best wishes and good luck

Answer 3

400*(1-15%)=340
This is the price after discount.because the discount is 15%,which make the price should be (1-15%)which is 85% of the price shown.

then you calculate 340+340*6%=360.4
This is the total cost.

Answer 4

Price tag=$400
discount@15%=$60
discounted price=$340
tax@6%=$20.40
cost=$360.40

Answer 5

list price = 400
15%off -> 15*400/100=60
so price after discout = 340
6%sales tax -> 6*340/100 = 20.4
so cost = 340+20.4 = $360.4

Answer 6

Take the discount off of the purchase price, then tax it!

Answer 7

400 * .15 = 360 after discount
Then 360 * .06 = 338.40 after tax

Answer 8

15% off means you pay 85% or .85
400*.85*(1.06)=$360.40
