Hello  Matt7151!

To find the total amount, we will first need to find how much tax.

We can express 9% as the fraction $\frac{9}{100}$.

$\frac{9}{100}$ × 750 = 67.50

So she's paying $67.50 sales tax.

750.00

  67.50

-------------------

 817.50

So Debra's really paying $817.50.

Thus, the answer is $\boxed{ 817.50}$$\boxed{817.50}$.
