9.5% wha

Answer 1

Answer:

$700.8

Step-by-step explanation:

discount = 0.20

You actually pay full price (100% or 1) - discount (20% or 0.20), so 1 - 0.20 = 0.80

If the TV was originally $800, then you pay 0.80 (80%) of it, or

(800)(0.80) = $640.00 dollars.

Tax, 9.5% or 0.095, of $640 is added to the $640, so

Tax = 0.095 + 640 = $60.8

$60.8 + $640 = $700.8
