Best prices were having a 20% off sale on all TVs what would the sale price of a tv be after 6% sales tax is added?

If the discount is 20%, then the customer pays the remaining 80%

We'll involve the multiplier 0.80

We'll also involve 1.06 to indicate a 6% increase, due to the sales tax.

Overall, the combined multiplier is 0.80*1.06 = 0.848

So in reality, the true discount rate is 1-0.848 = 0.152 = 15.2%

In the problem you posted, you didn't mention what the original TV price was. So in its current form, I cannot answer the question fully.

However, let's say the original price was $1000

The sale price would then be 0.848*1000 = 848 dollars

This is of course a hypothetical example.
