The final price of the items including all discounts and sales tax is $421.83

What is the final price of the items including all discounts and sales tax?

From the question, we have the following parameters that can be used in our computation:

Weed eater = $235

Lawnmower = $410

Discount = 40%

Sales tax = 8%

The total before the discount is

Total = $235 + $410

Evaluate

Total = $645

The total after the 40% discount is

Total = $645 * (1 - 40%)

Evaluate

Total = $387

The total after the sales tax 8% is

Total = $387 * (1 + 9%)

Evaluate

Total = $421.83

Hence, the final price is $421.83
