Answer 1

$2399.06

Explanation:

The sale price after a 25% reduction is:

Sale price = $3000 - 0.25($3000) = $2250

The sales tax is 6.625% of the sale price:

Sales tax = 0.06625($2250) = $149.06

So the total sale price including sales tax is:

Total sale price = $2250 + $149.06 = $2399.06

Therefore, the sale price after sales tax is $2399.06.
