Respuesta :

The Solution:

Given:

Total price = $1455

Discount = 40%

Sales tax = 2%

[tex]Discount=\frac{40}{100}\times1455=\text{ 4}\times145.5=\text{ \$}582[/tex][tex]Sale\text{ price}=1455-582=\text{\$}873[/tex]

Add sale tax:

[tex]\frac{2}{100}\times\frac{873}{1}=\text{\$}17.46[/tex]

The total price is:

[tex]873+17.46=\text{\$}890.46[/tex]

Answer:

$890.46
