Acd usally sells for 17.00 if the cd is 30% off and the sales tax is 8% what is the total price of the cd including tax

$12.85

Step-by-step explanation:

First we need to find the sale price of the CD

Sale price = old price - old price * discount rate

                 = 17 - 17* .3

                 = 17 - 5.1

                 = 11.9

The sale price of the CD is 11.90

Now we need to find the tax

tax = sale price of cd * tax rate

      = 11.9 * .08

      = .95

The final cost of the CD is  sale price of CD plus the tax

Total cost = sale price of CD + tax

                 = 11.90 + .95

                    =12.85
