Tamara paid $22.64 before tax

Step-by-step explanation:

In marketing, a coupon is a ticket or document that can be redeemedfor a financial discount or rebate when purchasing a product.

Let the discounted price = P

The Sales tax rate was 6%

The money Tamara pay for the sweater before including tax will be P which is:

(100 + 6) / 100 * P = 24

1.06P = 24

P = 24/1.06

P = 22.64 dollars
