Hello! So, the cost of $350, has been discounted by 20%. First off, let's find the discounted price. Even though there is a discount, 80% of the price still needs to be paid, because 100 - 20 = 80. Let's multiply. 350 * 80% (0.8) is 280. That's $280 on the dinette. The tax rate is 6.5%. To find the amount of tax, all you have to do is multiply the price by the tax rate. 280 * 6.5% (0.065) is 18.2. There. The tax is $18.20. The answer is B: $18.20.

Answer:
$18.20

Explanation:
The original price is $350
There is a discount of 20%
This means that the amount to be paid is 100% - 20% = 80% of the original price
Therefore:
amount to be paid = 80% * 350 = 0.8 * 350 = $280

Now, the tax rate is 6.5% of the paid price. This means that:
tax = 6.5% * 280 = 0.065 * 280 = $18.20

Hope this helps :)
