TV originally priced at $500 with a 15% discount Pays 6% sales tax, what will be total cost?

Question

Here is the actual ?

Jill decided to buy a new TV for her apartment. She found a TV originally priced at $500 with a 15% discount. If she pays 6% sales tax, what will be her total cost of the TV?

Answer 1

First get the discount: 500*.15 = 75 So the price before tax is 500-75 = 425

Now add the tax:

425*.06 = 25.5 So the total price is the discounted price (425) plus the tax (25.5)

$450.50

Answer 2

The original cost of TV is = $ 500
Discount is 15% = 500*15/100
= $75
The discount price is = $500-75
= $425
sales tax = 6%
= 425*6/100
= $25.5
The cost of TV is $425+$25.5= $450.50

Answer 3

Original price= $500.
discount =15% = 15into 500/100=75.
purchased price= $ 500-75= $425.
6% sales tax= 6 into425/100= 25.50.
Total cost of TV= 425 +25.50= $ 450.50.

Answer 4

Without the percentage that the sales tax is we won't be able to find the total cost. I'll show you how to calculate it using an example sales tax: 15% of 500 is 0.15*500 or 75. We now know that the discount brings the total cost down to $425. Do the same thing with the sales tax. If it was, for example, 8.25%, (sales tax of California), it would be 0.0825*425, which is roughly $35.06. Add that to the total of 425, giving us $460.06. Hope this helps!

Answer 5

HI!!!!!!1st, subtract 15% of 500 from 500 = 500*15/100
= 75
therefore, 500-75=425
now,add 6%of 425 to 425 = 425-(425 * 6%)
= 425 - 25.5
= 399.5

Answer 6

OK

$500 * .85 = $425 ; (1.00 - .15 = .85)

Now - $425 * 1.06 = $450.50

Hope that helps.

Answer 7

500*.85*1.06 = $450.50

Answer 8

500*.85*1.06 = $450.50

Answer 9

500(.15)=75
500-75=425
425(.06)=25.5
425+25.5=$450.50
