Answer:

$259.98

Step-by-step explanation:

First you have to subtract the 560 by the 320, which will get you 240. Then you need to multiply 65 by 15% which will get you 9.75. Then you need to notice that it says that the customer will also have to pay a sales tax of 8% on BOTH PRODUCTS. With that said, you must take the 240 and multiply it by 8%, which will get you 259.2, then you must multiply 9.75 by 8% which will get you 0.78, after that, you must add 259.2 to 0.78, which will get you $259.98.
