A swimming pool had a list price of $575.25 and was on sale for 10% off. Sara had a coupon for an extra $75 off. What will her cost be before tax?

Answer (2)

First find the reduce price (based on the 10% sale - i.e this means if the cost is reduced to 90% of its original non-sale price)
Then subtract another $75 due to the coupon to obtain the end cost:
$575.25*(1-0.10) - $75 = $442.73
Answer is: $442.73

Sara's cost for the swimming pool before tax is $442.73 after applying both the 10% discount and the additional $75 coupon. First, we calculated the reduced price after the discount, then subtracted the coupon amount. The final amount before tax is $442.73.
