Answer:
The final price including tax is $41.89
Explanation:
The following items are on sale:
Sleeved dress $17.99
Skirt $16.19
T-shirt $8.99
Subtotal $43.17
The cheapest item is the T-shirt for $8.99 and it will be discounted by 30%:
$8.99 - 30/100 * $8.99 = $8.99 - $2.70 = $6.29
The total sale price is now: $43.17-$2.70=$40.47
Now we add the 3.5% tax:
$40.47 + 3.5/100 * $40.47 = $40.47 + $1.42 = $41.89
The final price including tax is $41.89
