Step 1 Take the Tax out of 737.34
Step 2 Take the amount before tax and discount it 2%
Step 3 Take the discounted total and add the tax from the amount before tax

Let's go step by step:

### Step 1: Taking the tax out of 737.34
To remove the tax, we need the tax rate. For this example, I will assume a **standard tax rate of 10%** (please confirm or provide a different tax rate if necessary).

If the total price is $ T = 737.34 $ and the tax rate is 10%, the formula to calculate the price before tax is:

\[
\text{Price before tax} = \frac{T}{1 + \text{Tax rate}}
\]

So:

\[
\text{Price before tax} = \frac{737.34}{1.10} \approx 670.31
\]

### Step 2: Apply a 2% discount to the amount before tax
To apply a 2% discount on $ 670.31 $, we use the following formula:

\[
\text{Discounted amount} = 670.31 \times (1 - 0.02) = 670.31 \times 0.98 = 656.90
\]

### Step 3: Add the tax from the amount before tax to the discounted amount
To find the tax that was taken out in Step 1, calculate:

\[
\text{Tax amount} = 737.34 - 670.31 = 67.03
\]

Now, add this tax back to the discounted amount from Step 2:

\[
\text{Final total} = 656.90 + 67.03 = 723.93
\]

### Final Result:
The final amount after the 2% discount and adding back the tax is **723.93**.
