Answer 1

$110.56

Step-by-step explanation:

The Total Cost of the three shirts will be = $49.96*3 = $149.88

When the third shirt is discounted cost becomes = $49.96*2 = $99.92

However tax is on the initial total cost which is 7.1%*149.88 = $10.64

Therefore the amount to be paid will be the discounted price of 99.92 + tax of 10.64 = $110.56
