In the opening of the question the word 'service' is associated only with the pretax value.
The closing part of the question asks: how much did she pay for the
service

$
72.6
(

+
20
100
)
=
$
87.12
However, the intention of the question provider may have been that your answer is to be
$
87.12
(
1
+
8
100
)
=
$
94.09
to 2 decimal places.
