answer: 29.68

work:

okay so to solve this problem, you wanna start by finding 20% of 35. to start, change 20% into a decimal, 0.20, and multiply by 35.

35 x 0.2 = 7

so, if you are getting 20% off, that means you are getting $7 off, so subtract 7 from 35.

35 - 7 = 28.

okay, so that's the sale price, but we still have to add the tax. convert 6% into a decimal (0.06) and multiply by the total.

28 x .06 = 1.68

lastly, add the sales tax onto the jean price to get the total.

28 + 1.68 = 29.68

i hope this helped and have a great day! if you need any further assistance with this specific question or i made any mistakes, please let me know!
