Answer:

The final price of blender after sale off and sales tax = $123.552 A

Step-by-step explanation:

Given as :

The costs of blender = $130

The sale off percentage = 12%

The sales tax applied on blender price = 8%

Now

The cost of blender after sale off = $130 - 12% of $130

The cost of blender after sale off = $130( [tex]\frac{100 - 12}{100}[/tex])

I.e The cost of blender after sale off = $130 × [tex]\frac{82}{100}[/tex] = $114.4

Again, sales tax of 8% is applied after sale off

So, Final price of blender = $114.4 + 8% of $114.4

     Final price of blender = $114.4 ([tex]\frac{108}{100}[/tex])

I.e Final price of blender = $123.552

Hence the final price of blender after sale off and sales tax = $123.552 Answer
