You are an office manager, and you need to buy a new
printer. You are looking at two options for the printer
model you like. A local electronics store offers the
model for $499.99 plus a 5% sales tax. An online store
offers the same model for $549.99 plus $22.95 for
shipping and no sales tax. You plan to use a coupon
for the online store for 10% off the purchase price
before the shipping fee.

What will be the final price of the better deal?
$472.49
$515.65
$517.94
$524.99
$572.94

Respuesta :

First let's calculate the final price at the electronic store.

499.99*(1+0.05)≈524.99

Now let's calculate the final price online

(549.99+22.95)*(1-0.1)≈515.65

If we compare the two we can see that the online price is cheaper at around 515.65 dollar therefore the second choice is correct.

I hope this helped if you have any questions please ask!
