The student council sells scented erasers in the morning before school starts to help raise money for school dances. The local bookstore donated 48 boxes of erasers. There are 24 erasers in each box. If the student council sells the erasers for $0.75 each, they offer a 10% discount for bulk purchases of 10 or more erasers, and a 6% sales tax applies to the final amount. If they manage to sell all the erasers, how much money will they make after taking into account the discounts and sales tax?

First, let's calculate the total number of erasers donated by the bookstore:

48 boxes * 24 erasers per box = 1152 erasers

Next, let's calculate the total revenue without discounts and taxes:

1152 erasers * $0.75 per eraser = $864

Now, let's consider the bulk discount. If a customer buys 10 or more erasers, they get a 10% discount. Since we want to calculate the maximum revenue, we'll assume that all erasers are sold in bulk (in groups of 10 or more) to apply the discount to all sales.

Bulk discount per eraser = 10% of $0.75 = $0.075

Discounted price per eraser = $0.75 - $0.075 = $0.675

Total revenue with bulk discount:

1152 erasers * $0.675 per eraser = $777.60

Now, we need to add the 6% sales tax to the final amount:

Sales tax = 6% of $777.60 = 0.06 * $777.60 = $46.656

Total revenue with sales tax:

$777.60 + $46.656 = $824.256

Since we're dealing with money, we'll round to the nearest cent:

Total revenue after discounts and sales tax = $824.26

Therefore, the student council will make $824.26 after taking into account the discounts and sales tax, assuming they sell all the erasers.
