A CD usually sells for $11.00. If the CD is 10% off, and sales tax is 7%, what is the total price of the CD, including tax?

Answer 1

First determine the sale price after deducting the 10%:

10% of $11 = 0.10 * 11 = $1.10

The CD has a sale price of $11 - $1.10 = $9.90

Then determine the tax on $9.90 at 7%:

7% of $9.90 = 0.07 * 9.90 = $0.69

The tax amount of $0.69 will be added to the sale price.

The total price will be: $9.90 + 0.69 = $10.59
