Answer:

See below.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the marked down price, multiply the total by the percentage.

[tex]99*.6=59.4[/tex]

Next, subtract the amount from the total.

[tex]99-59.4=39.6[/tex]

Then, multiply to find the sales tax.

[tex]39.6*0.08=3.168[/tex]

[tex]39.6+3.168=42.768[/tex]

Answer: $42.77
