Question 6 • * SY2025-26 - 1205040 M/J Grade 7 Mathematics Sem 1 CR

Kyle wants to buy a new laptop that has an original price of $540. The store is having a sale, so the laptop is 10 percent off, which amounts to a discount of $54. If sales tax is 8 percent on the final price of the laptop, how much tax will he need to pay?

Answer
A
$38.88
B
$43.20
C
$47.52
D
$48.60

Explanation

First subtract the $54 discount from the original $540 price: $540 − $54 = $486. Sales tax is 8% of the discounted price, so $486 × 0.08 = $38.88. The tax he needs to pay is $38.88, choice A.
