The first step to solve this is to take $79.07 and multiply it by .88 since it’s a discount of 12%. You take 100%-12% and get 88%, 88% as a decimal is .88. So now after you multiplied 79.07 • .88 you get 69.5816. Now you take that number and you multiply that by 1.0775 since it’s a sales tax and it INCREASES the amount of money. 7.75% as a decimal is .0775. You multiply 69.5816 • 1.0775 and get 74.974174. Now that to the nearest cent is $74.97.
