    The textbook is $150 originally, so to find the price of the textbook on sale, multiply the original price by 12% (0.12). Then subtract 12% of 150 from 150.

    150 * 0.12 = 18

    Subtract 18 from 150.

    150 - 18 = 132

    Multiply the price of the textbook on sale by the sales tax of 8.25% (0.0825). Then add the tax price onto the sale price of the textbook.

    132 * 0.0825 = 10.89

    Add 10.89 to 132.

    132 + 10.89 = 142.89

    The final price of the textbook is $142.89.
