Dante wants to buy a scooter that usually sells for $85.99. The store is having a sale and all merchandise is discounted by 15%. What is the total cost of the scooter if Dante pays 8 1/2% sales tax? Try to show the work/explanation please! :)

$79.30

Step-by-step explanation:

Initial sales price of scooter = $85.99

Sales tax rate = 8 1/2 or 8.5%

Discount rate = 15%

A 15% discount was given to Dante on the scooter i.e. 15% of selling price was taken off

We then calculate the discount amount : 15/100 × 85.99 = 12.8985

$12.8985 was reduced from the initial sales price= 85.99 - 12.8985 = 73.09

This means that $73.09 is the new sales price for the scooter

Sales tax is a compulsory amount charged by the government over every purchased good by a consumer. It is paid alongside the price for the good

Sales tax is calculated thus: Selling price × Sales tax rate

73.09 × 8.5/100 = 73.09 × 0.085

= 6.21

The Sales tax = $6.21

To calculate the total cost of the scooter = Sales tax + Selling price

6.21 + 73.09 = 79.30

Therefore, the amount in total that will be paid by Dante for the scooter is $79.30

step-by-step explanation:

option: d is the correct answer.

d) none of the above.

step-by-step explanation:

clearly from the figure attached to the question we could see that there is no shape given. hence without any shape given in the figure and after rotation we can't obtained a square pyramid.

since, to obtain a image we need a proper figure of the pre-image so that it can be transformed.

hence, the correct answer is:

d) none of the above.
