    12.71

    Step-by-step explanation:

    The sales tax is only added after money changes hands.

    100% - 20% = 80%

    That means he will pay 80% of the full price.

    14.99 * 80/100 = 11.99

    Now apply the sales tax.

    100%+6/100% = 106%

    You are taking 106% of 11.99

    11.99 * 106/100 = $12.71
