An invoice shows a subtotal of 86.00, a 10% discount, and tax of 7.50. What is the total amount due after discount and tax?
Correct Answer:
84.90
Explanation:
Start with the subtotal and apply the 10% discount. Ten percent of 86 is 8.60, so the price after discount is 86 - 8.60 = 77.40. The tax is given as a fixed amount, 7.50, so you add it to the discounted price: 77.40 + 7.50 = 84.90. Therefore, the total amount due is 84.90. This matches the correct result because you first reduce the amount by the discount, then add the specified tax.
