Stereo price: $350

Discount: 20%

Sales tax: 6%

We first apply the discount to the initial price:

Discount = 20% of $350 = 20*350/100 = 70

The final price is:

Final_price = Initial_price - Discount

Final_price = 350 - 70

Final_price = $280

Now, we apply the sales tax to this price:

tax = 6% of $280 = 6*280/100 = $16.8

Now, the total price is:

Total_price = Final_price + tax

Total_price = 280 + 16.8

Total_price = $296.8
