Given that a pair of shoes has a price of $62, and it is discounted for 20%, so this would mean that $12.4 is discounted to the original price. So the new price would be $49.6. And now, since there is a 5% tax added, $2.48 is added so the new total price would be $52.08. The answer would be option D. Hope this helps.
