Problema Solution
Claudia bought a television at a 25% discount. The original price of the television was $349. There was a 7% sales tax. How much did she pay for the television including tax?
Answer provided by our tutors
First we will find the discount: 25% of 349
0.25 x 349 = $87.25 is the discount
Then subtract 87.25 from 349:
349 - 87.25 = 261.75
Then find the sales tax:
0.07 x 261.75 = 18.32 is the sales tax
Finally we add 18.32 to 261.75 to get the final price:
18.32 + 261.75 = $280.07.
