Tina decided to get a new cell phone. The price advertisement is displayed below

Regular Price: $449.99
Instant Savings: -$150.00
Mail-in rebate: -$100.00
New Price: $199.99

If the sales tax is 8.25%, how much does Tina have to pay for the phone at the store, before she sends in her mail-in rebate?

Answer:

$324.74

Step-by-step explanation:

To find how much Tina will need to pay before sending in her mail-in rebate, we need to take the regular price and subtract the instant savings to it first.

Total Price with Instant Savings = 449.99 - 150.00

Total Price with Instant Savings = $299.99

Now that we have the value for the current price, we then compute for the  sales tax.

Total Sales Tax = 299.99 * 0.0825

Total Sales Tax = $24.75

Now that we have the sales tax, we then add the value to total price with Instant Savings.

Overall Price = 299.99 + 24.75

Overall Price = $324.74

The mail-in rebate will only apply after she sends it.
