I'm struggling a little bit can someone help?? A cell phone costs $850. You have a coupon for 15% off. How much will you pay for the phone? Include 13% tax

Respuesta :

Answer:

722.50

Step-by-step explanation:

not exactly sure its right but i did use a calculator so I'm pretty sure it's right

Given:

  • 850 dollars is the original price of the cell phone.
  • (discount) coupon for 15% off
  • tax is 13 percent.

------------------------------------------------------------------

original price - discount = sales price

  • 850 - (850 x [tex]\frac{15}{100}[/tex] ) = sales price

  • ANSWER: $722.50 or [tex]\frac{1445}{2}[/tex]

Include 13% tax... price + sales tax = total price of the phone

  • 722.50 + (722.50 x [tex]\frac{13}{100}[/tex] ) = ?

  • ANSWER:  The final price of the cellphone is $816.43
