Answer:

$Total\ Price = \$57.12$

Explanation:

Step 1: Determine the discounted price

$Discount=Original* (Total\ percent - Sale\ percent)$

$Discount=\$68 * (1 - 0.2)$

$Discount=\$68 * (0.8)$

$Discount=\$54.4$

Step 2: Determine the total with tax

$Total\ Price = Discount * (Total\ percent + Tax\ percent)$

$Total\ Price = \$54.4*(1+0.05)$

$Total\ Price = \$54.4*(1.05)$

$Total\ Price = \$57.12$

Answer:
$Total\ Price = \$57.12$
