    A TV that usually sells for $192.94 is on sale for 15% off. If sales tax on the TV is 6%, what is the price of the TV, including tax?

    Find the discounted price: 15% off of 192.94
    Discounted Price = 192.94 * (1 - 0.15) <-- 15% as a decimal is 0.15, and 1 is 100%, so we subtract to get 85% of the original price
    Discounted Price =192.94(0.85)
    Discounted Price = $164

    Now, add in the sales tax of 6% to the Discounted Price
    Price after sales tax = Discounted Price * 1.06
    Price after sales tax = $164 * 1.06
    Price after sales tax = $173.84
