    The amount customers are expected to pay $7600 per bond

    Explanation:

    8M implies that the municipal bond has $8000 as its par value.

    The amount a customer would is 95% of the par value

    Hence, customers are expected to pay $7600 (95%*$8000)

    For instance a 5M at 105 means that the par value of the bond is $5000 but issued at 105%, which translates into $5250 without considering commissions as well as the accrued interest on the bond which might also be factored into the price.
