Answer: $97.524

Step-by-step explanation:

First let's calculate the price after the tax rate:

converting 7.50% to a decimal = 0.0750 now we multiply the sales tax by 75.60 which equals $5.67 add it to 75.60 = 81.27 (our new total)

Now let's calculate the tip. Again turning 20% to a decimal = .20 now multiplying by 81.27 = 16.254. Adding 16.254 to 81.27 we get our final answer: $97.524
