Question

A 55" flat screen television is regularly priced at $399.00. It is on sale for
20% off, and there is also an in-store coupon for $15.00 off any purchase
over $100.00. If tax is 5.75%, how much will the television cost?

Answer 1

Answer:

$321.6915

Step-by-step explanation:

original price= $399.00

20% off $399 is $319.2

$319.2-$15.00=$304.2

0.75% of 304.2 is 2.2815

5% of 304.2 is 15.21+2.2815=17.4915+304.2=321.6915

hope this helps

Answer 2

A percentage is a way to describe a part of a whole. The final cost of the television is $321.69.

What are Percentages?

A percentage is a way to describe a part of a whole. such as the fraction ¼ can be described as 0.25 which is equal to 25%.

To convert a fraction to a percentage, convert the fraction to decimal form and then multiply by 100 with the '%' symbol.

Given that a 55" flat screen television is regularly priced at $399.00. Now, It is on sale for 20% off. Therefore, the cost of the flat screen is,

Cost after discount = $399 - 20% of $399

= $399 - 0.20($399)

= $319.2

The cost after the application of the coupon of $15.00 off on any purchase over $100.00. Therefore, the new cost will be,

New Cost = $319.20 - $15.00

                 = $304.2

Since the tax on the cost is 5.75%, therefore, the cost after the application of the tax is,

Cost after the tax = $304.2 + 5.75% of $304.2

                             = $304.2 + 0.00575($304.2)

                             = $321.69

Hence, the final cost of the television is $321.69.
