Discount:
First, calculate the amount of the discount by multiplying the original price by the discount percentage: Discount = Original Price * Discount Rate
Discount = $721 * 11% = $79.31 (round to two decimal places)
Discounted Price:
Subtract the discount amount from the original price to find the discounted price: Discounted Price = Original Price - Discount
Discounted Price = $721 - $79.31 = $641.69
Sales Tax:
Multiply the discounted price by the sales tax rate to find the amount of sales tax: Sales Tax = Discounted Price * Sales Tax Rate
Sales Tax = $641.69 * 7% = $44.92 (round to two decimal places)
Total Cost:
Add the discounted price and the sales tax to find the total cost: Total Cost = Discounted Price + Sales Tax
Total Cost = $641.69 + $44.92 = $686.61
Therefore, the total cost of the tablet computer after the discount and sales tax is approximately $686.61.
