Respuesta :

Answer:

Joni will pay a final price of  [tex]\$432.43[/tex] for the television.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Regular price of the television bought by Joni = [tex]\$599[/tex]

Discount percentage = [tex]33[/tex]

Sales tax paid in percentage =[tex]7.75[/tex]

To find amount paid by Joni = ?

We have to find the remaining price after the discounted amount.

Lets find  [tex]33\%\ of\ $599[/tex].

[tex]\frac{33}{100} * 599 = \$197.6[/tex]

Remaining price = Regular price - Discounted amount

Remaining price = [tex]\$599-\$197.6=\$401.33[/tex]

Amount paid = Price (after discount)/Remaining price + sales tax.

Sales tax = [tex]7.75\% \ of\ \$401.33=\$31.10[/tex]

Amount paid = [tex]\$401.33+\$31.10=\$432.43[/tex]

Joni will pay an amount of [tex]\$432.43[/tex] for the television after its discount and including the sales tax.
