    The pants are $38.06 and the television is $1,147.50.

    The sales tax on the pair of pants is calculated by multiplying $35 x. 0875 = $3.06

    The total cost is $35 + 3.06 = $38.06.

    The sales price of the television is calculated by multiplying $1,250 x. 85, (100 -.15 discount =.85) = $1,062.50 is the sales price

    The sales tax is calculated by multiplying $1,062.50 x. 08 = $85

    The total price is $85 + $1,062.50 = $1,147.50
