Answer:


\$1.92

Explanation:

Given: An item regularly priced at
\$80 is on sale for
20\% off. There is a
3\% sales tax.

To Find: The Amount of Sales Tax.

Solution:

Regular price of item
=\$80

Discount during Sales on item
=20\%

Discount during Sales on item
=(20)/(100)*80


\$16

Price of item during Sales
\text{Regular price}-\text{Amount Discounted}


\$80-\$16


\$64

Sales Tax on item
=3\%\text{of discounted price}

Sales Tax on item
