Question 568534: What is the total cost of a 40 dollar item which is discounted 30 percent if there is a sales tax 06 percent

$40 *.30 = $12 (30% discount)
$40 - $12 = $28 (cost of item excluding tax)
$28 *.06 = $1.68 (sales tax)
$28 + $1.68 = $29.68 (total cost)

I hope it would help you. Goodluck
