    Answer: the actual amount that Luke paid including tax is $55.65

    Step-by-step explanation:

    The initial price of the jacket is $75.

    Luke bought a jacket that was 30% off the cost. This means that the amount of discount on the Jacket is

    30/100 * 75 = 0.3 * 75 = $22.5

    The price of the jacket after the discount had been applied is

    75 - 22.5 = $52.5

    He paid sales tax of 6% after the discount had been applied. This means that the amount of sales tax that he paid on the jacket is

    6/100 * 52.5 = 0.06 * 52.5 = 3.15

    Therefore, the actual amount that Luke paid including tax is

    52.5 + 3.15 = $55.65
