Let’s calculate the total bill step by step based on Chris Eugene’s purchases:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n\n\n\n
Step 1: Calculate Total Cost per Item<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\nMultiply the price by the quantity:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n- Speaker Cabinets, RS101<\/strong>:
$400.00 \u00d7 2 = $800.00<\/li>\n\n\n\n- Speaker Cabinets, RG306<\/strong>:
$611.00 \u00d7 2 = $1,222.00<\/li>\n\n\n\n- Horns, BG42<\/strong>:
$190.00 \u00d7 2 = $380.00<\/li>\n\n\n\n- Audio Console, LS101<\/strong>:
$1,079.00 \u00d7 1 = $1,079.00<\/li>\n\n\n\n- Power Amplifier, NG107<\/strong>:
$416.00 \u00d7 5 = $2,080.00<\/li>\n\n\n\n- Microphones, RKG-1972<\/strong>:
$141.92 \u00d7 8 = $1,135.36<\/li>\n\n\n\n- Microphone Stands, 1957-210<\/strong>:
$32.50 \u00d7 8 = $260.00<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
\n\n\n\nStep 2: Add All to Get Subtotal (Total Before Discount and Tax)<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n800+1222+380+1079+2080+1135.36+260=7,056.36800 + 1222 + 380 + 1079 + 2080 + 1135.36 + 260 = \\mathbf{7,056.36}<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n\n\n\nStep 3: Apply 13% Discount<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n7,056.36\u00d70.13=917.33 (discount)7,056.36 \u00d7 0.13 = 917.33 \\text{ (discount)} 7,056.36\u2212917.33=6,139.03 (Sale Price)7,056.36 \u2212 917.33 = \\mathbf{6,139.03} \\text{ (Sale Price)}<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n\n\n\nStep 4: Add 8% Sales Tax<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n6,139.03\u00d70.08=491.12 (sales tax)6,139.03 \u00d7 0.08 = 491.12 \\text{ (sales tax)} 6,139.03+491.12=6,630.15 (Total Cost)6,139.03 + 491.12 = \\mathbf{6,630.15} \\text{ (Total Cost)}<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n\n\n\n\u2705 Final Answer: $6,630.15<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\n\n\n\nExplanation <\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\nTo calculate the total invoice for Chris Eugene\u2019s music equipment purchase on September 1, we must systematically apply basic arithmetic and understand key business terms such as subtotal<\/em>, discount<\/em>, sale price<\/em>, and sales tax<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\nFirst, we compute the subtotal<\/strong>, which is the total cost before applying any discounts or taxes. We do this by multiplying the unit price of each item by its quantity. For example, five power amplifiers at $416 each results in $2,080. This step is repeated for all items: speaker cabinets, horns, microphones, and stands.<\/p>\n\n\n\nOnce the subtotal of $7,056.36<\/strong> is determined, we apply a 13% discount<\/strong>. A discount reduces the buyer\u2019s price as an incentive or promotional offer. Thirteen percent of the subtotal amounts to $917.33, which we subtract to get the sale price<\/strong> of $6,139.03<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\nNext, we compute sales tax<\/strong>, a mandatory government levy on purchases, calculated here at 8%<\/strong>. Multiplying the sale price by 0.08 gives $491.12. Adding this tax to the sale price results in the total amount payable<\/strong>: $6,630.15<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\nUnderstanding these steps is essential for both business transactions and personal budgeting. It helps in verifying invoices, planning expenditures, and recognizing how discounts and taxes affect the final cost. Accurate invoicing also maintains transparency and builds trust between buyer and seller.<\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/learnexams.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/learnexams-banner4-48.jpeg\")

First, we compute the subtotal<\/strong>, which is the total cost before applying any discounts or taxes. We do this by multiplying the unit price of each item by its quantity. For example, five power amplifiers at $416 each results in $2,080. This step is repeated for all items: speaker cabinets, horns, microphones, and stands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Once the subtotal of $7,056.36<\/strong> is determined, we apply a 13% discount<\/strong>. A discount reduces the buyer\u2019s price as an incentive or promotional offer. Thirteen percent of the subtotal amounts to $917.33, which we subtract to get the sale price<\/strong> of $6,139.03<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Next, we compute sales tax<\/strong>, a mandatory government levy on purchases, calculated here at 8%<\/strong>. Multiplying the sale price by 0.08 gives $491.12. Adding this tax to the sale price results in the total amount payable<\/strong>: $6,630.15<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Understanding these steps is essential for both business transactions and personal budgeting. It helps in verifying invoices, planning expenditures, and recognizing how discounts and taxes affect the final cost. Accurate invoicing also maintains transparency and builds trust between buyer and seller.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Creating an Invoice On September 1, Chris Eugene made the following band equipment purchases at Leslie’s Music Store.
