Answer:

1) The price of the suit is $221.12 including tax.

3) The price of the suit is $208.60 not including tax.

5) Octavio saved $89.40 not including tax.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find which statement are true, let's solve for everything.

Let's start with solving for the discount of the suit first.

Original Cost = $298

Discount Percentage = 30% or 0.30

Now to solve for the discount, we multiply the Original Cost to the Discount.

Discount = $298 * 0.30

Discount = $89.4

Now to find how much the suit was with the discount, we simply subtract the Original Price to the Discount.

Discounted Price = $298 - $89.4

Discounted Price = $208.6

Now that we know the discount price, let's solve for the price with the sales tax.

Sales Tax = 6% or 0.06

Discounted Price = $208.6

Price with tax = (208.6 * 0.06) + 208.6

Price with tax = 12.52 + 208.6

Price with tax = $221.12

The overall price of the suit was $221.12.
