Answer:

Subtotal: $250.00

Savings: $62.50

New Subtotal: $187.50

Total: $195.00

Step-by-step explanation: First, multiply 25 by 10. You'd get 250. Then, recall the formula to find the worth after a percent is applied:

Worth = Whole number * part percent / 100

Plug in the numbers:

Worth = 250 * 25 / 100

6250 / 100

= 62.50

Now, since it's a discount we need to subtract the discount price from the current subtotal. This would look like this:

250 - 62.50 = 187.50

Now, use the same formula to find the sales tax:

187.50 * 4 /100

750 / 100

= 7.5

So, since we need to pay the tax, we add the amount to our current subtotal:

187.50 + 7.5 = 195

So, our total is $195.00
