80 - 20% = 64
Now we have to add the tax, so: 64 + 3% = $65.92
The answer should be $65.92.
I hope this helped,
good luck<3
The total cost of the item on sale is:
[tex]\$\ 65.92[/tex]
The regular price of the item is: $ 80
Also, it is given that the item is on a sale of 20%.
Hence, the item is to be paid at a rate of (100-20)%=80% of the regular price of the item.
Hence, after the offer the item will cost:
[tex]=80\%\ of\ 80\\\\i.e.\\\\=\dfrac{80}{100}\times 80\\\\i.e.\\\\=\$\ 64[/tex]
The sales tax on the item is 3%.
This means that the tax on the item is:
[tex]=3\%\ of\ 64\\\\=\dfrac{3}{100}\times 64\\\\=\$ 1.92[/tex]
Hence, the total cost of the item on sale is:
[tex]=\$ 64+\$ 1.92\\\\=\$\ 65.92[/tex]
