Respuesta :

The total cost of skateboard after tax is removed = $87.53

Explanation:

Initial cost of scateboard = $79.57

Discount = 12%

Discounted price = Initial cost of scateboard Ɨ 12%

= 79.57 Ɨ 0.12

Discounted price = 9.5484 = $9.55

Note: Discount is subtracted while sales tax is added to the cost of item

The amount left after discount is removed before tax= Initial cost of scateboard - Discounted price

The amount left after discount is removed = $79.57 - $9.55

The amount left after discount is removed = $70.02

Sales tax = 25%

Amount of sales tax = The amount left after discount is removed Ɨ 25%

= $70.02 Ɨ 0.25 = 17.505

Amount of sales tax = $17.51

The total cost of skateboard after tax is removed = The amount left after discount is removed + Amount of sales tax

The total cost of skateboard after tax is removed = $70.02 + $17.51

The total cost of skateboard after tax is removed = $87.53
