  • $28.65 total

Step-by-step explanation:

You want the discount amount and the price after 6% tax when a 15%-off coupon is applied to an order of $31.80.

Coupon value

The value of the coupon is ...

  15% × $31.80 = $4.77

They get a discount of $4.77 from the coupon.

Tax

The amount of tax is ...

  ($31.80 -4.77) × 6% = $27.03 × 0.06 = $1.62

So, the total bill is ...

  $27.03 + 1.62 = $28.65

The total price after tax is $28.65.
