Answer :

LadyStrange

Cost of a sno-cone machine = $ 138

The discount on the sno-cone machine = 20%

Price of the sno-cone machine after the discount :-

= 138 - 20% of 138

[tex]= 138 - \frac{20}{100} \times 138[/tex]

[tex] = 138 - \frac{(20 \times 138)}{100} [/tex]

[tex] = 138 - \frac{2760}{100} [/tex]

[tex]\texttt{= 138 - 27.6}[/tex]

[tex] =$ 110.4[/tex]

Which means the price of the sno-cone machine after a 20% discount would be = $110.4 .

Sales tax on the sno-cone machine = 6.75%

Cost of the sno-cone machine after the sales tax :-

[tex] = \frac{(6.75+100)}{100} \times 110.4[/tex]

[tex] = 110.4 × \frac{106.75}{100} [/tex]

[tex] = 110.4 × 1.0675 [/tex]

[tex] = $117.852 [/tex]

Therefore , the price of the sno-cone machine after the discount and sales tax would be = $117.852
