Sagot :

We know that

• The original price is $55.25.

,

• There is 15% off.

,

• The tax is 7%.

Remember that taxes are applied after the discount. So, first, we have to find 15% of $55.25.

[tex]0.15\cdot55.25=8.29[/tex]

The discount is $8.29. Let's find the price after the discount.

[tex]55.25-8.29=46.96[/tex]

The new price is $46.96.

Then, we apply taxes. Let's find the 7% of $46.96.

[tex]0.07\cdot46.96=3.29[/tex]

The taxes are $3.29.

Then, we sum to find the final price

[tex]46.96+3.29=50.25[/tex]

The final price is $50.25.
