Answer 1

Katie is correct. You would take 20% of $22.50 (22.5 multiplied by .2). You would get $4.50 off of the book with the discount. So you would subtract 4.5 from 22.5 and get $18. Then you would take 10% of $18 for the sales tax. (18 multiplied by .1). You would get $1.80 towards sales tax. you would then add $1.80 to $18 and get $19.80
