Answer: $421.20

Step-by-step explanation:

First you need to calculate the cost of the laptop, which is 60% of its original cost of $650.

$650 x 60% = $390

Next, you need to calculate how much 8% tax would be on $390.

390 x 8% = $31.20

The last step is to add the sales tax to the cost of the computer to calculate what the total cost is:

$390 + $31.20 = $421.20
