Question

15
If the original price of the computer is $235, what would be the price after the discount?



$ __________

$1$$2$$3$$4$$5$$6$$7$$8$$9$$0$$.$

16
The store must charge 10% sales tax on the computer after the discount. What is the final cost of the computer?



$ __________

$1$$2$$3$$4$$5$$6$$7$$8$$9$$0$$.$

Answer 1

The price after the 15% discount would be (1 - 0.15) * $235 = $199.75.

The sales tax is 10% of $199.75, which is (0.10) * $199.75 = $19.975.

The final cost of the computer would be $199.75 + $19.975 = $219.725.

So, the final cost of the computer is $219.73.
