Taniya Barajas · Answer 1

291.60 is the final cost

Step-by-step explanation:

First find the cost of the phone before tax

Discount

450*.40

180

Price after discount

450-180

270

Now find the tax

270 * 8%

270 *.08

21.60

Add this to the price after discount

270+21.60

291.60

40% of 450 is 270 and 8% of 270 is 21.6 so add 21.6 to 270 and you get 291.60
