The original price of a computer was $895.00. Eleanor had a 25% off coupon which she was able to use to make the purchase. If sales tax of 6.5% was added after the discount was taken, how much did Eleanor pay altogether for the computer?
First, apply the discount:
$895 * 25% = $223.75
$895 - $223.75 = $671.25
Now, apply sales tax of 6.5% to this discount price of $671.25
$671.25 * 1.065 = $714.88
