Does anyone have any idea how to solve this problem?

Bob owns a bicycle shop. In 2018, Bob sold 75 bicycles. Of those, 30 were sold for $150 each and 45 were sold for $300 each. All of the bicycles were subject to a 7.5% sales tax. What were Bob's total sales taxes for 2018?

$1451 in taxes
$1350 in taxes
$1012 in taxes
$1181 in taxes

Answer 1

$1350

Explanation:

(150 x 30) + (300 x 45) = 18000

18000 x 0.075 = 1350
