Lucky you! You went to couponcabin.com and found a 30% off coupon to your significant other’s favorite store. Armed with that coupon, you went to the store only to find a storewide sale offering 10% off everything in the store. In addition, your credit card has a special offer that allows you to save 10% if you use your credit card for all purchases that day.


Using your credit card, what will you pay before tax for the $170 gift you found? Use the single equivalent discount to calculate how much you save and then calculate your final price. (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to 2 decimal places. Omit the "$" sign in your response.)
