1. **State the problem:** We need to find the total price of a large jade plant after a 5% discount and then add 7.5% sales tax.
2. **Identify the original price:** The original price is $15.75.
3. **Calculate the discount amount:** The discount is 5% of $15.75.
$$\text{Discount} = 0.05 \times 15.75 = 0.7875$$
4. **Calculate the price after discount:**
$$\text{Price after discount} = 15.75 - 0.7875 = 14.9625$$
5. **Calculate the sales tax on the discounted price:** Sales tax is 7.5% of the discounted price.
$$\text{Sales tax} = 0.075 \times 14.9625 = 1.1221875$$
6. **Calculate the total price including tax:**
$$\text{Total price} = 14.9625 + 1.1221875 = 16.0846875$$
7. **Round to two decimal places:**
$$16.08$$
**Final answer:** The total price of each large jade plant including tax is $16.08.
