Answer:

57 dollars

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Solving the 25% discount

25% = .25

80 x .25 = $20

80 - 20 = $60

** We subtracted 80 from 20 because 25% of 80 is 20 BUT We're taking 25% OFF of 80 because it was a discount.

2. Solving the 5% Tax

5% = .05

$60 x .05 = 3

$60 + 3 = $63

**Adding tax to the discounted price

I hope this helps!
