Answer 1

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  A.  48.14

Step-by-step explanation:

There is only one reasonable answer among the available choices. It is the correct one: 48.14.

__

The original price is about $60, so 25% = 1/4 of that amount is $60/4 = $15. Then the discounted price will be very nearly $45, but the sales tax will add back some smaller amount. In other words, the final price will be between $45 and $60. Only one answer choice is in that range: $48.14.
