    The starting price is $1,250. We take off 15%. Convert the percent into a decimal. To do this we move the percent sign two places to the left.

    15% = > 0.15

    Then we multiple: 1250 * 0.15 = 187.5

    Subtract 187.5 from 1250. 1250 - 187.5 = 1062.5

    Now we have to add sales tax. Which is 6.5%. Convert the percent into a decimal. To do this we move the decimal two places to the left.

    6.5% = > 0.065

    Multiple: 1062.5 * 0.065 = 69.0625

    Then add 69.0625 to 1062.5. 1062.5 + 69.0625 = 1131.5625

    After round it to the nearest tenth, the final cost is $1,131.6
