15% of 300= 0.85 X 300 = 255 . 6 % sales tax on 255 = 0.06 X 255 + 255= 238.5. Hence B.

15% of 300= 0.85 X 300 = 255 . 6 % sales tax on 255 = 0.06 X 255 + 255= 238.5. Hence B.
Hi, I think above calculation should be modified for latter equation.
0.06 x 255 + 255 is 270.3 , not 238.5, the final result is still B though.
273 > 270.3.
