Answer:

$145.75

Explanation:

First step is to find the price after discount

Discount = original price * discount percent

= 250 *.45

=112.50

The discounted price is the original price less the discount

Discounted price = original price-discount

=250-112.50

=137.50

Now we need to calculate the tax. The tax is the discounted price times the tax rate.

Tax=discounted price * tax rate

= 137.5 *.06

8.25


To find the total cost, we add the tax to the discounted price

Total cost = discounted price + tax

= 137.5 + 8.25

=145.75
