Answer:

[tex]Total = \$68.34[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]Price = \$88.99[/tex]

[tex]Discount = 30\%[/tex]

[tex]Sales\ Tax = 9.7\%[/tex]

Required

Determine the payable amount.

First, calculate the amount after discount

[tex]Amount = Price - Price * Discount[/tex]

[tex]Amount = Price (1 - PDiscount)[/tex]

[tex]Amount = \$88.99(1 - 30\%)[/tex]

[tex]Amount = \$88.99(70\%)[/tex]

[tex]Amount = \$62.293[/tex]

The total after sales tax is:

[tex]Total = Amount (1 + Sales\ Tax)[/tex]

[tex]Total = \$62.293 (1 + 9.7\%)[/tex]

[tex]Total = \$62.293 (1 + 0.097)[/tex]

[tex]Total = \$62.293 (1.097)[/tex]

[tex]Total = \$68.335421[/tex]

[tex]Total = \$68.34[/tex]

$68.34 will be paid
