Hm 1 second let me write the work down for this problem

Answer:

$843.67

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Calculate the discount that was taken off from the original price.

$896 x 12% = $107.52

2. Subtract the discount taken off from the original price. This gives you the total paid AFTER the discount was taken.

$896-$107.52= $788.48

3. Calculate the tax amount by multiplying the discount price by the tax rate.

$788.48 x 7% = $55.19

4. Add the tax amount back to the discount price.

$788.48 + $55.19 = $843.67
