Question

kalas family is shopping for a large screen tv. the tv they decided on has a retail price of $1,000 at four stores. the state sales tax is 5%. each store is offering a different sales promotion, as listed in the table. which store has the best deal? store a store b store c store d

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate total cost for Store A

The price before tax is \(1000 - 80=\$920\). The sales tax is \(0.05\times920 = 46\). So the total cost is \(920+46=\$966\).

Step2: Calculate total cost for Store B

The price after 10% discount is \(1000\times(1 - 0.1)=1000\times0.9=\$900\). The sales tax is \(0.05\times900=\$45\). So the total cost is \(900 + 45=\$945\).

Step3: Calculate total cost for Store C

The store pays all sales tax. The price is \(\$1000\) (no discount on price, but no tax). So the total cost is \(\$1000\).

Step4: Calculate total cost for Store D

The price before tax - rebate is \(1000-40 = 960\). The sales tax is \(0.05\times1000\times0.5=\$25\). So the total cost is \(960+25=\$985\).

Answer:

B. store B
