    Given:

    price = 1,250

    sales discount = 15%

    sales tax = 6.5%

    The problem is unclear whether the price is the original price or the discounted price. I am assuming that the price is the original price.

    Original price times sales discount rate is the value of sales discount

    1,250 x 15% = 187.50

    Original price less the value of sales discount is the discounted price.

    1,250 - 187.50 = 1,062.50

    Discounted price times sales tax rate is the value of the sales tax

    1,062.50 x 6.5% = 69.06

    Discounted price plus sales tax is the total cost of the purchase

    1,062.50 + 69.06 = 1,131.56
