Ines became the manager of an electronics store. She decided to provide customers with a great holiday deal. A customer will be able to purchase 3 big screen televisions at the following price, the first one at the full price of $750, the second one will be discounted 45% and the 3rd television discounted at 80%. If tax is 6% what is the the sales price for someone who purchases all three televisions(what they will pay for all three tv's with tax!)?
1st TV = 750
2nd TV = 750 * 0.55 = 412.50
3rd TV = 750 * 0.2 = 150
1.06(750 + 412.5 + 150) = $1,391.25
what is the amount of sales tax on a $35 jacket if the tax rate is 6%.
To calculate the sales price for someone who purchases all three televisions with tax, you need to calculate the price of each television after the respective discounts, then add up the prices and calculate the tax.
Let's break it down step by step:
1. Calculate the discount for the second television:
The second television will be discounted by 45%. To find the discounted price, subtract 45% of $750 from the original price:
Discounted price of the second television = $750 - (45% x $750)
2. Calculate the discount for the third television:
The third television will be discounted by 80%. To find the discounted price, subtract 80% of $750 from the original price:
Discounted price of the third television = $750 - (80% x $750)
3. Calculate the total price of all three televisions:
Total price = $750 (price of the first television) + Discounted price of the second television + Discounted price of the third television
4. Calculate the tax:
To calculate the tax, multiply the total price by the tax rate of 6%:
Tax = 6% * Total price
5. Calculate the sales price with tax:
Sales price with tax = Total price + Tax
Now you can plug in the values and calculate the answer.
