    117.99

    Step-by-step explanation:

    First step is to find the discount

    Discount = original price * discount rate

    = 135 * 20%

    = 135*.20

    =27

    Take the discount from the original price and that is the new price

    new price = original price - discount

    = 135-27

    =108

    Now we need to find the tax

    tax = new price * tax rate

    = 108 * 9.25%

    = 108 *.0925

    =9.99

    The final price is the new price plus the tax

    final price = new price + tax

    = 108+9.99

    =117.99
