Amy bought a box of chocolates originally priced at $14. She received a 15% discount on the original price, and then she paid a 4% sales tax on the purchase price. What is the total amount that Amy paid for the box of chocolates?

The total price is $12.38. First you multiply $14.00 x. 15 which equals $2.10. Then you subtract $2.10 from $14.00 which equals $11.90. The next step is to multiple $11.90 x. 04 which equals $0.48. Then you add $11.90 + $0.48 which equals $12.38.
