Question

Patrick purchased four new tires that were regularly priced at $95.99 each, but are on sale for $20 off per tire. If the sale tax is 7%, how much will be charged on Patrick's Visa card?

Answer 1

$ 325.2372 will be charged on Patrick's Visa card.

Explanation

The regular price of each tire is $95.99 and the discount amount is $20 per tire.

So, the selling price of each tire will be: $(95.99-20)dollar=75.99 dollar$

and the total selling price of 4 tires $= (75.99*4)dollar=303.96 dollar$

The sale tax is 7%. So, the amount of sale tax $= 7\% of 303.96 = (0.07*303.96)dollar = 21.2772$ dollar

So, the total charge on Patrick's Visa card will be: $(303.96+21.2772)dollar = 325.2372$ dollar
