Now assume that there is a sale going on and everything in the store is 15% off. What would be your total without using the 10-dollar Tohl’s bucks and with the same 6.75% sales tax? Round your answer to the nearest cent. 


To calculate your total without using the Tohl's bucks, but applying the 15% discount and 6.75% sales tax, follow these steps:

1. **Let the original price be denoted as \( P \)** (we'll assume the total cost before any discounts is unknown, as you haven't provided that yet).
   
2. **Apply the 15% discount:**
   \[
   \text{Discounted Price} = P \times (1 - 0.15) = P \times 0.85
   \]
   
3. **Add the sales tax of 6.75% to the discounted price:**
   \[
   \text{Final Price} = \text{Discounted Price} \times (1 + 0.0675) = (P \times 0.85) \times 1.0675
   \]

So, the total price you would pay is:
\[
\text{Total Price} = P \times 0.85 \times 1.0675
\]

If you provide the original price \( P \), I can calculate the exact total for you. Would you like to provide that information?

### Relative questions:
1. How would the total change if the sales tax were 8% instead of 6.75%?
2. What would the final price be if the discount was 20% instead of 15%?
3. How would the calculation change if you applied the Tohl’s bucks after the discount?
4. What would be the impact if there were no sales tax but still a 15% discount?
5. How would the total price differ if there was a 10% off coupon instead?

### Tip:
Always apply percentage-based discounts before calculating sales tax to avoid overpaying on tax.
