To calculate the savings, we first need to find the price of the four red oak trees without the promotion.
Regular price of one red oak tree: $390.00
Price of three trees at the regular price: $390.00 x 3 = $<<390*3=1170.00>>1,170.00
Now we can calculate the price of the fourth tree, with the 80% discount:
Discounted price of the fourth tree: $390.00 x 0.80 = $<<390*0.80=312.00>>312.00
Now let's add up the prices of all four trees:
Total price without the promotion: $1,170.00 + $312.00 = $<<1170+312=1482.00>>1,482.00
Now let's calculate the tax on the total price:
Tax amount: $1,482.00 x 0.0825 = $<<1482*0.0825=122.265>>122.265
Finally, we can calculate the savings:
Savings: $1,482.00 + $122.265 = $<<1482+122.265=1604.265>>1,604.265
