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 paid for the shirt?

33.60

Step-by-step explanation:

First determine the discount

40 * 20%

40 *.2 = 8

The discount is 8

40-8 = 32

The shirt was 32 dollars before tax

Now find the tax

32 * 5%

32*.05 = 1.60

Add the tax to the sale price

32+1.60

33.60

33.6

Step-by-step explanation:

40-20%=32

32+5%=33.6
