Answer:

$13.31

Explanation:

First, take the original price and apply the discount of 20% by converting the percentage into a decimal (0.2)

16 x 0.2

= 3.2

Next, take away that amount from the original price

16 - 3.2

= 12.8

Now calculate the tax with the new price by converting the percentage into a decimal (0.04)

12.8 x 0.04

= 0.512

Finally, add the tax to the new amount

12.8 + 0.512

= 13.312

Round if necessary.
