Answer:

$866.7

Explanation:

To find the total amount that Lakisha paid, we first need to find the price of the recliner after the 10% discount.

Discount = $900 x 0.10

Discount = $90

Discounted price = $900 - $90

Discounted price = $810

Now that we know the discounted price, we can find the price of the recliner with the sales tax applied.

Sales tax = $810 x 0.07

Sales tax = $56.7

So the total price will be the discounted price added to the sales tax.

Total Price = $810 + $56.7

Total Price = $866.7
