Answer:

$216

Explanation

We know that we are paying 80% of the price of the airpods (20% off) so we can multiply the full price by 0.8.

250 * 0.8

This will give us 200.

Now, we need to add the sales tax which is 8%.

Simply multiply the 200 by 1.08 since we are paying the 200$ plus an extra 8% of the cost.

200 * 1.08 = $216

I hope this helped.
