Given that the cost of new video game is $60.
The video game was on a sale for 35% off.
The sales tax was 8%.
We need to determine the final cost of the video game.
Marked price:
Since, the offer was 35%, we have;
100 - 35 = 65%
Marked price = [tex]\frac{65}{100}\times60=39[/tex]
Thus, the marked price is $39.
Tax:
The tax of the video game is given by
[tex]\frac{8}{100}\times30=3.12[/tex]
The tax of the video game is $3.12
Final cost:
The final cost of the video game is given by
Final cost = Marked price + Tax
Substituting the values, we have,
Final cost = 39 + 3.12
Final cost = $42.12
Thus, the final cost of the video game is $42.12
