Step-by-step explanation:

iPads are 18% off on the day of purchase, so they should be charged at ...

   100% -18% = 82%

of full price. The sum shown includes two iPads at $499 each, without any discount. The total price is too high by $179.64.

The tax rate is given as 8.875%, so the multiplier on price will be ...

  100% +8.875% = 108.875% = 1.08875

The multiplier used by the student in the problem is 1.0875, so is too low.

A correct computation could be written as ...

  ($575 + 2×499×0.82)×1.08875 ≈ $1517.02

it would be 6xy and -16xy.
