Answer:

$74.36 sorry all i got

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we need to determine the sales price of the skateboard. The formula for find the discounted prices is:

Where:

is the sales price of the item: what we are solving for in this part of the problem.

is the regular price of the item: $79.16 for this problem.

is the discount rate: 12% for this problem. "Percent" or "%" means "out of 100" or "per 100", Therefore 12% can be written as  

12

100

Substituting and calculating  

gives

79.16

79.16

12

100

79.16

949.92

100

79.16

9.4992

69.6608

69.66

rounded to the nearest cent.

Now we can find the total price of the item with tax included. The formula for this is

#t = p + (p * r)

Where, this time:

is the total price: what we are solving for in this problem.

is the price of the item: it is the sales price of the item for this problem which is $69.66

is the tax rate: 6.75% or, using the same rule as in the formula above:  

6.75

100

Substituting and calculating  

gives:

69.66

69.66

6.75

100

69.66

470.205

100

69.66

4.70205

74.36205

74.36

rounded to the nearest cent.

Noah would pay a total cost (with the discount and after tax) of $74.36

$74.36 should be the answer
