Nathan took his car in for service and repair. He had a coupon for 15% off. $261.36 $381.25 $77.52 Which amount is closest to Nathan's total costs after the 15% discount and 7% sales tax?

Answer :

Answer:

Total amount to be paid = $655

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Total price before coupon is  = 261.36 +381.25+77.52

= $720.13

Discount = 15%

Amount of discount = 15% of total amount

Amount of discount = [tex]\frac{15}{100} \times 720.13[/tex]

= $108.02

Remaining amount = Total amount - discount amount

Remaining amount = $720.13 - $108.02

= $612.11

Sales tax = 6%

Amount of sales tax = 6% of remaining amount

[tex]=\frac{6}{100} \times 612.11\\\\=42.85[/tex]

Amount to be paid = Remaining amount + sales tax

= 612.11 + 42.85

= 654.96

Rounding off to nearest whole number;

Total amount to be paid = $655
