You can put this solution on YOUR website!
$320 price of washer
x 0.15 {changed decimal to percent and multiplied}
-------
$48 discount {multiplied}

$320
- 48 {subtracted discount}
-----
$272 price after discount

$272
x.04 {changed 4% tax to decimal and multiplied}
-----
$10.88 tax {multiplied}

$272 + $10.88 {added tax to price after discount}
= $282.88 total price with tax after discount
