To find out how much Julie paid for the tank top, we first need to calculate the sale price after the 10% discount:

Regular price of tank top = $15.95
10% of regular price = 0.10 x $15.95 = $1.595
Sale price of tank top = Regular price - 10% discount = $15.95 - $1.595 = $14.355

So Julie paid $14.355 for the tank top.

To find out how much Julie paid in total, we add the cost of the shorts and the cost of the tank top:

Total cost = Cost of shorts + Cost of tank top
Total cost = $24.95 + $14.355
Total cost = $39.305

Therefore, Julie paid $39.305 in total for the shorts and tank top.
