Hello~

50 ÷ 100 x 12
(100 being the complete percentage)
600/100 = 6

12 + 6 equals to 18, the price without the taxes.
7 ÷ 100 x 18 is 126/100
1.26.
18 + 1.26 = $19.26

So the answer is D, $19.26.

I hope its correct! If not, tell me! :)

So the price would first be 12*1.5 which is 18, then multiply by 1.07 to get 19.26
