Answer:

$27.14

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following :

Discount on Jean:

20% off the original price = (100 - 20) × original price = (80% × original)

Original price = $32

Sales price after discount :

(80/100) × $32

0.8 × $32

= $25.6

Tax fee on sales price :

Tax rate = 6%

(6/100) × $25.6

0.06 × $25.6 = $1.536

Therefore, final cost of the Jean ;

Discounted price + tax fee

$25.6 + $1.536

= $27.136

= $27.14
