Answer: The total amount that he paid for the suit is $170

Step-by-step explanation:

The original price of the suit was $260.

Mr. Nguyen bought a suit that was on sale for 40% off the original price. This means that the amount of discount in the suit is

40/100 * 260 = 0.4 * 260 = $104

The sale price would be

260 - 104 = $156

He paid 9% sales tax on the sale price. This means that the amount of sales tax that he paid is

9/100 * 156 = 0.09 * 156 = $14.04

The total amount that he paid for the suit, including tax is

156 + 14.04 = $170 to the nearest dollar
