Problema Solution
you bought a snowboard for 25 percent off. You then received a point-of-sale rebate of $20 before taxes. Sales tax is 7.5 percent. How much did you pay if the snowboard originally cost $200
Answer provided by our tutors
Snowboard Costs: $200
Rebate: $20
25% off : 200 x 0.25 = $50
7.5% Sales Tax
So...
-First subtact the cost of Snowboard with the 25% off coupon.
200 - 50
= $150
-Now Subtract $20 Rebate from the total discounted item.
150 - 20
= $130
Now...
The sales tax, we will use same method we did to get the amount for 25% discount earlier.
130 x 0.075
= 9.75
Now...
Add the 130 + 9.75
and, the total cost for the snowboard is $139.75 after discount, rebate and sales tax.
