TV price $195.72
20% off
Let sales price be x (100-20)=80
x= 195.72 *80/100 =156.58
tax =9%
Purchase price = discounted price + 9% of discounted price
=156.58 + 156.58*0.09
=$170.67

The 20% off sale multiplies the price by 1.00-.20 = 0.80.

The 9% tax multiplies the total by 1.00+.09 = 1.09.

ANSWER: %28195.72%29%2A%280.80%29%2A%281.09%29+=+170.67 rounded UP to the nearest cent (the seller will never round down....)
