Lydia bought a shirt at 20% off its retail price of $40. she paid 5% tax on the price after the discount. how much did lydia pay for the shirt?
$42
$36.60
$34
$33.60

$33.60 is the correct answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

Price of the shirt = $40.00

discount rate = 20% or 20/100

so price of the shirt = 40 × 0.20 = 8

Shirt's price after 20% discount = 40 - 8 = $32.00

Now she paid 5% tax on the price after discount.

5% tax of 32.00

0.05 × 32 = $1.60

This amount will be added to his discounted price of a shirt.

= 32.00 + 1.60 = $33.60

Lydia pay $33.60 for the shirt.
