I’m pretty sure you can first do 10% at a time which you can round to 13 which is 3 so 3 plus 3 then add tax

Hi There!

Explanation:

20% = 0.2

6.25% = 0.0625

Discount: 12.99 * 0.20 = $2.598

Sale Price: 12.99 - 2.598 = $10.392

Tax: 10.392 * 0.0625 = 0.6495

Price After Tax: 10.392 - 0.6495 = 9.7425

Round: 9.7425 = 9.74

Answer:

$9.74

Hope This Helps :)
