Solution
Step 1 ：1. Calculate the final price for each item using the formula: final_price = initial_price * (1 + percentage/100) for taxes and additional charges, and final_price = initial_price * (1 - percentage/100) for discounts.
Step 2 ：2. The final answers are: \(\boxed{164.29}\), \(\boxed{51.48}\), \(\boxed{304.50}\), \(\boxed{31.20}\), \(\boxed{174.99}\), \(\boxed{907.49}\), \(\boxed{55.80}\), \(\boxed{3.22}\), \(\boxed{215.94}\), \(\boxed{36.25}\)
