Answer 1

This is an percentage change question to calculate this, simply:

7.5% * 650 is 48.75 (You are correct here)

But the question

asks for) "Jackson' total bill) therefore its 48.75 + 650 = 698.75

Cheers! :)

Answer 2

his total bill would be 698.75

Explanation

you only did half of the problem lol.

48.75 is just the sales tax. to get the total bill, you need to add 650 to 48.75 because 650 is the actual price of the TV

hope this helps :)
