    Answer: $608.24

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Hi, first we have to calculate the percentage amount of the discount.

    We have to multiply the cost by the sale percentage in decimal form.

    703 x (16/100) = 703 x 0.16 = 112.48

    Then, we have to subtract that amount to the original cost.

    703-112.48 = 590.52

    Then, we have to calculate the sale tax amount by multiplying the sale cost by the tax percentage in decimal form.

    590.52 x (3/100) = 590.52 x 0.03 = 17.7156

    Finally adding that amount to the sale cost.

    590.52 + 17.7156 = $608.24
