What is the cost of a typewriter that is 18% off the list price of $375 with sales tax of 5% that must be paid?

Question

cant figure this question out, any help would be greatly appreciated.

Answer 1

18% discount means it sells for (100 - 18)% of $375, which is 82% of $375, or

 

0.82($375) = $307.50

 

Add 5% to that, which is

 

0.05($307.50) ≅ $15.38

 

Total price is

 

$307.50 + $15.38 = ?
