Answer:

$21

Step-by-step explanation:

Crystal Vase was originally priced as $100

80% off: 80% = 80/100 = 0.80

100 x 0.80 = 80

Subtract the amount that is off from the original amount:

100 - 80 = 20

Add sales tax. Sales tax is 5% or 0.05 of the amount.

20 x 0.05 = 1

20 + 1 = 21

$21 is your answer.
