The amount paid for the computer including sales tax is 0.918p

<h3>How to determine the amount paid?</h3>

The price paid is given as:

Price = p

A 15% off means that he pays 85%.

So, we have:

Amount = 85% * p = 0.85p

A sales tax of 8% means:

Total = 0.85p * (1 + 8%)

Evaluate the product

Total = 0.918p

Hence, the amount paid is 0.918p
