First, find the percentage of the price after the sale occures
percent = 100% - 20%
percent = 80%

We need to find the price for the pairs with the percentage above
new price = percentage of new price/percentage of old price × old price
new price = 80%/100% × 55
new price = 4/5 × 55
new price = 44
The new price is $44

Now we estimate how much the tax
tax = 6% × 44
tax = 6/100 × 44
tax = 2.64

Calculate how much Josie will pay
pay = new price + tax
pay = 44 + 2.64
pay = 46.64

Josie will pay $46.64
