    291.60

    Step-by-step explanation:

    40% of 450 is 270 and 8% of 270 is 21.6 so add 21.6 to 270 and you get 291.60

    291.60 is the final cost

    Step-by-step explanation:

    First find the cost of the phone before tax

    Discount

    450*.40

    180

    Price after discount

    450-180

    270

    Now find the tax

    270 * 8%

    270 *.08

    21.60

    Add this to the price after discount

    270+21.60

    291.60
