30% of 42 is 12.6$.
42-12.6 = 29.4$ is the price of the pair with discount applied.
Tax 7%
29.4 * 7% = 2.06
29.4$ + 2.06$ = 31.46 $ final price with discount and tax applied.

Answer:

$31.46  

Step-by-step explanation:

Original price =                                    $ 42.00

Less 30 % discount = 0.30 × 42.00 = -  12.60

Net sale price =                                      29.40

+ 7 % sales tax = 0.07 × 29.40 =          + 2.06

Total sale price =                                 $ 31.46

The sale price of the sandals is $31.46.
