I find it easiest to subtract and add the percentages to make a multiplier, then use that.

After the man's discount, he pays (100% - 12%) = 88% of the list price. After tax, he pays (100% + 3%) = 103% of the discounted price.

The amount he actually pays is $255×0.88×1.03 = $231.13.

The best choice is ...
  (B) $231.13
