Answer:

$34.02

Step-by-step explanation:

10% off means that the price of the shirt is now 100% - 10% = 90%

The price of one shirt now is


(90)/(100)*12=10.8

Furthermore, 5% sales tax means that the price will be 100% + 5% = 105% higher

The price of the shirt after tax will be


\$10.8*(105\%)/(100\%)
