Answer:

$230.40

Step-by-step explanation:to find the answer first we have to know the original percentage.which is 100%=$256 and so since we've been told that it is 25% off we take away 25% and get 75% so we then add 15%tax to the 75%which gives us 90%.so we multiply $256 by 90% divided by 100% and we get %230.40
