Theres probably a formula for this, but just take 35$ *.20 = 7$. (you have you make the percent a decimal) so you take 35-7 = $28, so $28 is the sale price. do the same thing for the tax.

take $28*.06 = $1.68. so because its tax, you have to add it onto the total.

28+1.68 = $29.68.

so if you buy something thats originally 35$, thats on sale for 20% off, but with 6% sales tax, youll be paying $29.68

(pretty sure thats right?)
