The term "off" indicates that the price of the item is reduced by the percentage off. Sales tax is however, added to the price of the item.
The total cost of the video game console is: [tex]\$476.85[/tex]
Given that:
[tex]Game = \$528[/tex]
15% off means that, the price is reduced by 15%.
So, we have:
[tex]Sales =Game - Game \times 15\%[/tex]
[tex]Sales = \$528 - \$528 \times 15\%[/tex]
[tex]Sales = \$528 -\$79.2[/tex]
[tex]Sales = \$448.8[/tex]
The total cost (when the sales tax of 6.25% is added) is:
[tex]Total = Sales + Sales \times 6.25\%[/tex]
[tex]Total = \$448.8 + \$448.8 \times 6.25\%[/tex]
[tex]Total = \$448.8 + \$28.05[/tex]
[tex]Total = \$476.85[/tex]
Hence, the total cost of the video game console is: [tex]\$476.85[/tex]
