Answer:
Very handy question to know the answer to. I know of no place on the planet that does not have a tax of some sort.
The tax only applies when money changes hands. It does not apply to any discounts
So if you take the deal, the cost is
Cost of 2 pizzas = normal price - the discount.
Cost of 2 pizzas = 2*10.50 - 2.00
Cost of 2 pizzas = 21 - 2
Cost of 2 pizzas = 19.00 dollars.
Not you add on the sales tax. You can do this one of two ways, the long way or the short way.
Long way
Find the sales tax
Tax = % * cost
Tax = (7.5/100) * 19
Tax = 1.425 don't round yet.
Total Cost = purchase + tax
Total Cost = 19.00 + 1.425 = 20.425 Now round. This is a real problem. It depends on what you have been told to do about rounding when 5 is the last digit. I round up. So my answer would be 20.43 <<<<< Answer.
Short Way
Cost = (Price - discount)*(1 + %/100)
Cost = (21 - 2)*(1+ 7.5/100)
Cost = 19 * (1.075)
Cost = 20.425 = 20.43

Question
Brand X Pizza is having a special coupon offer. If you buy two large pizzas, you get $2.00 off the total price before tax. A large pizza normally costs $10.50. There is a 7.5% sales tax that must be added to the total cost of the order. If you are using the coupon, what will be the total price of the pizzas with all discounts and sales tax? Round your answer to the nearest cent.
Correct answers:
20.43 $
First we must calculate the price for two pizzas without the coupon discount. Two pizzas cost $10.50×2=$21.00. Applying the coupon to this total gives us a sale price of $19.00. We must now calculate the sales tax on the sale price.
Sales Tax = (7.5/100) × $19.00=$1.43.
Therefore, the final price of the pizzas is $19+$1.43=$20.43.
