The total cost of the mattress is $162 after markdown 70%  and sales tax 8%

Given :

Erik bought a mattress that was marked down 70% from an original price of $500

Original price is 500 dollars

marked down that is discount percentage is 70%

Lets find the discount amount using original price

markdown percentage times original price

$discount = \frac{70}{100} \cdot 500=350$

cost of mattress after discount is 500-350= 150 dollars

sales tax is 8%

now we find the tax amount for 150 dollars

$tax=150 \cdot \frac{8}{100} \\tax = 12$

tax is 12 dollars

the total cost of the mattress= cost of mattress +tax

the total cost of the mattress=150+12=162

the total cost of the mattress is $162
