Question

First he gets of 15% of the price right?

8999 * 0,85 = 7649,15

Then extras add 11%

7649,15 * 1,11= 8490,55

If I understood the question correctly :)

15% of 8999.00 is 1349.85. So we subtract $1349.85 from $8999.00 which equals $7649.15. Then we need to add 11% of 7649.15, which is 841.41 (the last penny is rounded). We add those together, getting a total of $8490.56
