Answer 1

Eli Assouline

Total cost is #$883.26#

Regular price is #$1049.00#

Discounted price is #1049.00 *(1-0.2) =1049*0.8= $839.20#

Total cost = Discounted price + Sales tax #(5.25%) = 839.2*(1+.0525)=839.2*1.0525=883.258 = $883.26(2dp)#[Ans]

To find the total cost, first, calculate the discount: 20% of $1,049 =$ 209.80 Subtract the discount from the regular price: $1,049 -$ 209.80 = $839.20 Next, calculate the sales tax on the discounted price: 5.25% of$ 839.20 = $44.05 Add the sales tax to the discounted price to find the total cost:$ 839.20 + $44.05 =$ 883.25. Therefore, the total cost for the Wares would be $883.25.
