First, we find the value of the discount.

20% = 20/100

20/100*$150= $30 (20% off)

Then we subtract the discount from the original price: $150 - $30 = $120

Finally we find the value of the tax and we add it to the last value ($120)

15% = 15/100

15/100*$120=$18 (15% Tax)

$120 + $18 = $138

The final value would be equal to $138.
