Answer

Find out the how much money can be saved by buying a $1,000 television in New Hampshire .

To proof

As given

If Massachusetts has a sales tax of 6 percent and New Hampshire has no sales tax.

The cost of the telivision in New Hampshire = $1000

6% is written in the decimal form

= 0.06

6% sales tax on the cost of television = 0.06 × 1000

                                                              = $60

Total price of the television in  Massachusetts = 1000 +60

                                                                          = $1060

Money saved = Television price in Massachusetts - Television price in New Hampshire

= 1060 - 1000

= $60

Therefore  $60 be the money saved  by buying  television in New Hampshire .

Option (C) is correct .
