Answer:

$56.29

Step-by-step explanation:

Original price = $65

discount = 20%

hence discounted price =  100% - 20% = 80% of the original price

discounted price = 80% x $65 = $52

sales tax rate = 0.0825  (i.e 8.25%)

amount of sales tax paid

= 0.0825 x discounted price

= 0.0825 x $52

= $4.29

Final cost

= discounted price + sales tax

= $52 + $4.29

= $56.29
