$319.95-107.18325= 212.76675
212.76675 + 12.766 = 225.5328
I basically multiplied the amount by .334 which is the discount then I minused that number from the original amount. then multiplied by .06 which is the sales tax and then added that number to the discounted rate.

First subtract the discount, which takes it to 213.30 - you get that by calculating 1/3 of the original price, then subtracting it. 33-1/3% is equal to 1/3.
The take the price you are going to pay, and multiply by 1.06 - that's the price plus the 6% sales tax. I'll leave that calculation to you to do.

319.95 * 66.64%(100% - 33.33%) = 213.21
213.21 * 6% = 12.79
213.21 + 12.79 = 226$
226$
