Answer:

  $18.06

Step-by-step explanation:

The price the pawn shop charged for the DVD player was 40% more than what it paid, so was ...

  $12.00 + $12.00 × 0.40 = $12.00×(1 +0.40) = $16.80

__

The tax on the purchase is this price multiplied by the tax rate:

  tax = 0.075×$16.80 = $1.26

__

Then the total including tax is ...

  $16.80 +1.26 = $18.06 . . . . . total cost of the DVD player
