Answer:

842.4

Step-by-step explanation:

Alrighty, let;'s find what is 20 percent of 975.

20 percent is also 1/5 so 1/5 times 975 is 195

Discount would have 975-195 which is 780

Now we have sales tax which increasces the tax. Let's find what is 8 percent of 780. Let's do 0.08 times 780 which is 62.4

The total is 780+62.4= 842.4
