$185 + $545 = $730
$730 x .20 = $146
$730 - $146 = $584

$584

For this case, we must indicate what was the final cost of the items since the TV has a 20% discount. So, we make a rule of three to determine the discount amount.

545 ---------------> 100%

x -------------------> 20%

Where "x" represents the amount given by the 20% discount.


x = \frac {20 * 545} {100}\\x = 109\

So, on TV you save $ 109.


545-109 = 436\

Payment for TV $ 436

Then the total cost of the two items, excluding taxes, was:


185 + 436 = 625\

Answer:

$ 625
