Answer:

$414

Explanation:

Steps to take to derive the answer to this question :

1. Determine the price after the 10% discount

2. Use the price gotten above to determine the price after the 15% raise

price after discount = original price - discount

Discount = 0.1 x $400 = $40

Price after discount = $400 - $40 = $360

Price after raise = discounted price + raise

15% raise = 0.15 x $360 = $54

Price after raise = $360 + $54 = $414
