Answer:

The cost of the  electric scooter after the discount and

sales tax will be: $248.24

Step-by-step explanation:

The regular price of an electric scooter = $290

Discount = 20%

The discount price =  20% × 290

                                = 20/100 × 290

                                = $58

The price after the discount = $290 - $58 = $232

Sales tax = 7%

Sales tax amount = 7% × 232

                         = 7/100 × 232

                         = $16.24

The cost after the discount and sales tax = $232 + $16.24

                                                                      = $248.24

Thus, the cost of the  electric scooter after the discount and

sales tax will be: $248.24
