This user seems like they are trying to find answers rather than work out the problem.

Answer 9

57*0.3 then the answer multiply it by 1.05 the tax

Answer 10

But anyways, to find the price after the discount you must solve this expression

57 - (57*30%) \(\rightarrow\) 57 - (57*0.3)

Answer 11

Answer 20

57 = 100; 0.57 = 1

39.9 = 70 (30% off)
2.75 = 5 (sales tax)

39.9+2.75=42.65

taxes increases the cost from the base(net) price.
