Question: 365

2. A television set is on sale at a 25% discount. Its original price was $650. The sales tax is 12%. What will Beth pay, including tax, for the television set?

  • A. $524
  • B. $546
  • C. $589
  • D. $610

Correct Answer: B

Explanation:

B is correct. 25% of $650 = 0.25 × 650 = $162.50, so the sale price of the television set is $650.00 − $162.50 = $487.50. The tax is 12%, so Beth will pay $487.50 + ($487.50 × 0.12) = $487.50 + $58.50 = $546.
