Steve is buying a new car at the dealership. The price tag on the car reads $17,000.00. However, the salesman offers to sell him the car for 15% off the price tag. If sales tax is 8%, how much does the car cost after tax?

Answer:

$15606000

Step-by-step explanation:

17,000,000*.15 (15% off)

$ 2550000 off

17,000,000

-2550000

$14450000 (15% off)

*1.08 (sales tax)

$15606000

sorry if it is incorrect

Answer:

if the sale tax comes first before the 15% off,

Sales Tax: 1360

so the price became 18360

Price Off: 2754

18360 - 2754 = 15606

if the sale tax comes after the 15% off,

Price Off: 2550

17000-2550 = 14450

eight percent of 14450 is 1156

14450+1156 = 15606

anyways, the price is the same no matter if the sales tax comes first or the discount comes first
