Answer 1

$263.75 is the answer :)

Answer 2

Answer: Yvette paid $26.75 after receiving the rebate

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Full price of GPS unit = $275

Rate of sales tax = 5%

So, Amount of tax is given by

$\dfrac{5}{100}\times 275\\\\=\ 13.75$

so, Amount of GPS after tax is given by

$\ 275+\ 13.75\\\\=\ 288.75$

Now, Amount of rebate she received = $25

So, Amount she paying after receiving the rebate is given by

$\ 288.75-\ 25\\\\=\ 263.75$

Hence, Yvette paid $26.75 after receiving the rebate.
