The Simanski family is purchasing a new sofa. They find one they like that is on sale for fifteen percent off. If the sales tax rate in their state is 6 percent, what will be the final cost on the sofa that was originally priced at one thousand, two hundred dollars? one thousand, eighty dollars one thousand, eighty-one dollars and twenty cents one thousand, ninety-two dollars one thousand, two hundred ten dollars and eighty cents
Is the sales tax applied on the original cost of the sofa, or after the 15% discount?
idk
hmm I'd think is applied to the discounted sofa \(\bf \begin{array}{llll} quantity&percentage\\ \hline\\ 1200&100\\ x&15 \end{array}\implies \cfrac{1200}{x}=\cfrac{100}{15}\\ \quad \\ \textit{plus 6% of tax }6\% \ of \ x=\cfrac{6}{100}\cdot x\qquad thus\\ \quad \\ \textit{total price with tax }\implies x+\left(\cfrac{6}{100}\cdot x\right)\)
so
