There is a 25% discount on a 50-inch TV that sells for $349. Sales tax is 4%. How much is the total cost after tax?

4 answers

1.04(0.75 * 349) = $____
Cost = (0.75+0.04) * 349 = $275.71.
I agree with Ms. Sue

price after 25% discount = .75(349)
after sales tax, price = 1.04(.75(349)) = $272.22
0.75 * 349 = $261.75 = Price after discount.

Total cost = 261.75 + 0.04*261.75 = $272.22.

Ms. Sue is correct! Thanks Reiny!
