Question

peyton and Read are sharing the cost of a new video game. The game costs 65.00,but they have a coupon for 12% off. After including the 6% sales tax, how much will each pay toward the game.

Answer 1

Answer:

Each will pay $30.316 toward the game.

Step-by-step explanation:

Cost of game = $65

They have a coupon for 12% off.

So, cost of game after applying coupon = $65-\frac{12}{100} \times 65$

Cost of game after applying coupon = $57.2$

tax % = 6%

Cost including tax =  $57.2+\frac{6}{100} \times 57.2$

                             =  $60.632$    

Now Peyton and Read are sharing the cost of a new video game.

So, cost for each person = $\frac{60.632}{2}=30.316$    

Hence each will pay $30.316 toward the game.
