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
