B. 497.40
C. 465.00
D. 572.40

Answer 1

Answer: $497.40

Step-by-step explanation: $497.40

540*.06 (which is 6%)= 32.4

This is how we find the amount of taxes Benito paid

32.4+540= 572.4

You add the tax to the total of the price of the laptop.

572.4-75= 497.4

You take the total of what be paid and subtract the amount of money that he received after filling out the rebate form .
