    Answer:

    Marked down amount = $11.25

    Sales tax amount = $1.31

    Explanation:

    The initial amount Andrew bought the book was $30.

    If the book was later marked down by 37.5%, therefore the marked down will be;

    \frac{37.5}{100} \times 30 = 0.375 \times 30 = 11.25

    The marked down price will be;

    30 - 11.25 = 18.75

    If the sales tax rate was 7%, the sales tax amount will be;

    \frac{7}{100} \times 18.75 = 1.31

    Answer:

    • $11.25
    • $1.31

    Step-by-step explanation:

    • Initial price = $30
    • Mark down = 37.5%
    • Sales tax = 7%

    The markdown amount is:

    • $30*37.5/100 =  $11.25

    The markdown price is:

    • $30 – $11.25 = $18.75

    The sales tax amount is:

    • $18.75*7/100 = $1.31 (rounded to the nearest cent)
