Sales Tax and Discount Lesson 8-5
Sales tax and discount • Sales tax - is an additional amount of money charged on items people buy. The total cost is the regular price plus the sales tax. • Discount – the amount by which the regular price of an item is reduced. The sale price is the regular price minus the discount.
Sales Tax • The local, state, or federal government receives this money. • For example if: • Louisiana State sales tax is 4% • Vermilion Parish sales tax is 4.5% • Total rate of tax is 8.5%
Sales Tax: Finding the total cost. • A pair of shoes cost $90, and the sales tax is 4.25%. What is the total cost of the shoes? • First find the amount of sales tax. 4.25% of 90 = 4.25% x 90 $3.83 (This is the amount of tax being charged on the sale. So to find the total cost we add the tax to the original price.)
Sales Tax: Finding the total cost. Add the sales tax to the original price. 90 + 3.83 = $93.83 is the total cost of the shoes.
Sales Tax • A set of golf balls sells for $20, and the sales tax is 5.75%. What is the total cost? • 5.75% of 20 • 5.75% x 20 = • $1.15 • $20 + $1.15 = • $21.15 Add the sales tax to the original price.
