Question

The new iPhone is originally $1,200.00. For Memorial Day, they have a 35% discount. A sales tax of
8% was applied after the discount. What is the final price of the phone?

Answer 1

Original price of the iPhone = $1200.00

Percentage of discount given for memorial day = 35%

Cost of the iPhone after the discount :

$= 1200 - 35\% \: \: of \: \: 1200$

$= 1200 - \frac{35}{100} \times 1200$

$= 1200 - \frac{42000}{100}$

$= 1200 - 420$

$=\color{hotpink} \ \: 680$

Thus, the price of the iPhone after the discount = $680

Percentage of sales tax applied on the discounted price = 8%

Sales tax :

$= 8\% \: \: of \: \: 1200$

$= \frac{8}{100} \times 1200$

$= \frac{9600}{100}$

$= \color{hotpink}\ \: 96$

Sales tax = $96

Price of iPhone after sales tax :

$= 680 - 96$

$=\bold\color{hotpink} \ \: 584$

Therefore, the final price of the phone = $584
