James is buying a chair that regularly costs $435. Today the chair is on sale for 47% off. If the tax rate is 8.5% , what is the sale price of the chair including tax

The sale price of the chair including tax = $221.83

Step-by-step explanation:

Regular price of chair = $435

Discount = 47%

Sales price = 47 % of (Regular price)

= $ 0.47 (435)

= $ 204.45

Tax rate = 8.5% = 0.085

Tax amount = Tax rate × Sales price

= 0.085 × 204.45

= 17.37825≈ $ 17.38

The sale price of the chair including tax = Sales price + Tax amount

= $ ( 204.45+17.38)

= $ 221.83

Hence, the sale price of the chair including tax = $221.83
