I agree with Ms. Sue
price after 25% discount = .75(349)
after sales tax, price = 1.04(.75(349)) = $272.22
price after 25% discount = .75(349)
after sales tax, price = 1.04(.75(349)) = $272.22
Henry
0.75 * 349 = $261.75 = Price after discount.
Total cost = 261.75 + 0.04*261.75 = $272.22.
Ms. Sue is correct! Thanks Reiny!
