Respuesta :

Answer:

$183.54 is the amount Jason will have to pay for the chrome book.

Step-by-step explanation:

Cost price of the new chrome book =  $199.50

Percentage of discount on the price of new chrome book = 15%

Discount price = [tex]\frac{15}{100}\times \$199.50=\$29.925[/tex]

Percentage of sales tax on the price of new chrome book = 7%

Tax to be paid = [tex]\frac{7}{100}\times \$199.50=\$13.965[/tex]

Total amount paid by Jason :

$199.50 - $29.925 + $13.965 = $183.54

$183.54 is the amount Jason will have to pay for the chrome book.
