Answer:
The total cost is [tex]\$23[/tex].
Step-by-step explanation:
Given: Original price of calculator is [tex]\$100[/tex], discount is [tex]80\%[/tex] and the sales tax is [tex]15\%[/tex].
To find: The total cost
Solution:
We have,
Original price of calculator[tex]=\$100[/tex]
Discount [tex]=80\%[/tex]
Sales tax [tex]=15\%[/tex]
Now, first we need to find the cost after applying the discount.
So, discount [tex]=\frac{80}{100}\times100=\$80[/tex]
Therefore, the cost after applying the discount
[tex]=\$100-\$80=\$20[/tex]
Now, we have to find the sales tax. Therefore,
Sales tax [tex]=\frac{15}{100}\times20=\$3[/tex]
So, the total cost is [tex]\$20+\$3=\$23[/tex].
Hence, the total cost is [tex]\$23[/tex].
