Answer 1

Explanation:

Answer 2

$193.50

start by multiplying 240 by .25 (25%) to find out how much is 25% of 240. this equals 60.
then, subtract $60 from $240. equals 180.
next, to add the sales tax, multiply 180 by 0.075 (7.5%) this is $13.50.
lastly, add the tax, which is $13.50, to the suit's sale price, which is $180.
180+13.5= $193.50
