Miles is shopping for a new computer. He finds a computer with an original price of $325. 00 but finds that it is 15% off. After paying a 7% sales tax, how much does miles spend on his new computer?.

Answer :

Miles has to spend $295.3375 on his new computer.

Sales tax is applied to the price after the discount is applied because discounts are typically provided directly by the retailer and lower both the sales price and the money the retailer receives.

So Original price of Computer  is $325.00

Discount with computer is 15% off.

15% of $325 is (325*15)/100 = $48.75.

Price of computer after discount = 325-48.75 =$276.25

Now sales tax will be applied on this price.

7% sales tax = 0.07

amount of sales tax = 276.25*0.07 = 19.3375

Price of Computer after sales tax   = 276+19.3375 = 295.3375.
