    if the sale tax comes first before the 15% off,

    Sales Tax: 1360

    so the price became 18360

    Price Off: 2754

    18360 - 2754 = 15606

    if the sale tax comes after the 15% off,

    Price Off: 2550

    17000-2550 = 14450

    eight percent of 14450 is 1156

    14450+1156 = 15606

    anyways, the price is the same no matter if the sales tax comes first or the discount comes first
