Answer
The total cost of the iPad is $\$648.72$
Work Step by Step
To express a percent as a decimal, we can move the decimal point two places to the left.
$15\% = 0.15$
$6\% = 0.06$
We can calculate the amount of the discount.
$discount = (0.15)(\$720)$
$discount = \$108$
The amount of the discount is $\$108$
We can calculate the sale price.
$sale~price = \$720 - \$108$
$sale~price = \$612$
We can calculate the amount of the tax.
$tax = (0.06)(\$612)$
$tax = \$36.72$
We can find the total cost.
$total~cost = \$612 + \$36.72$
$total~cost = \$648.72$
The total cost of the iPad is $\$648.72$
