Example #3: Cost of [first camera $150.00 + sales tax $9 = $159.00] plus [second camera $250.00 + sales tax $15 = $424.00]; your rebate request $359.00 ($159 +$200). Example #4: Cost of 2 camera system $300.00 + mounts $15.00 + video storage $30 + shipping $5.00 + sales tax $21.00 = $371.00; your rebate request $318.00 ($300.00 + $18.00 (6% tax on camera)). Example #5: Cost of 4 camera system (3 cameras installed) $400 + sales tax $24 = $424; your rebate request $318.00 (cost per camera = $106 x 3 cameras installed ($424/4 x 3)).
