Harriet wants to buy items worth $248.50. She is using a store coupon for 25 percent off her purchases. She has to pay 5 percent sales tax. Calculate the total cost of the items.
you must take the 248.50 and multiply it by .25 then you subtract the answer from 248.50 and end up with 186.4 then you multiply that number by .05 and add that to the 186.4 and the answer you should get is 195.69
