Answer 1

The price of a video game is $32.99 before tax. Andre bought the video game for 20% off. He then paid 8% sales tax on the discounted price.

Part A: How much did Andre pay in sales tax? Show all work and steps in your solution.
Part B: What is the total amount that Andre paid for the video game? Show all work and steps in your solution.

Answer 2

price before tax due by Andre is:
32.99-(32.99*0.2)=26.39
now we have to add taxes of 8%:
so cost for videogame is: 26.39+(0.08*26.39)=28.50$
this is part A
28.50 is the part B.
Part A is 26.39*0.08=2.11$ of taxes payed by Andre
Andre paid in sales tax an amount of 26.39*0.08=2.11$
and
Andre paid for his videogame an amount of 28.05$
