Question 1107250: George is interested in buying a digital camera. He has a coupon for 15% off one item. There is am 8% sales tax on the camera. The final price of the camera after the discount and tax is $211.14. What is the original price of the camera?

15% off means he is paying 85% of the original price.

Adding 8% on the purchase price means multiplying the purchase price by 1.08.

So the original price has been multiplied by 0.85 and then by 1.08; the final price is $211.14. So

The original price was $230.
