Heron wants to buy a video game. The price is regularly priced at 55 dollars. The store has a discount of 20% off and a sales tax of 6%. How much will Heron pay for the video game

Respuesta :

The amount paid by Heron for the video game  is $46.64.

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, the marked price of the video game  = $55

The discount percentage on the video game  = 20%

Calculating 20% of the $55, we get:

[tex]\frac{20}{100} \times 55 = 11[/tex]

So, the discount offered on the video game  = $11

Selling Price  = Marked Price  - Discount

                        =$55 - $11 = $44

Now,  the tax percentage on the video game  = 6%

Calculating 6% of the $44, we get:

[tex]\frac{6}{100} \times 44 =2.64[/tex]

So, the tax  on the video game  = $2.64

New Selling Price  = Selling Price  +  Tax

                        =$44 + $2.64  = $46.64

So, the amount paid by Heron for the video game  is $46.64.
