I'm not completely sure, but I'm trying.

You have 13% off, so you multiply y by. 87. Then, you multiply the tax and total (.87y*.08y) to get the product of. 0696y. After that step, you add the total and the product (.87y*.0696) and get the sum of. 939y which will be your final answer.

For the expression, you can write Jason can use. 939y to find the final cost of the cards.
