    Answer:Jake's total cost is $22.05

    Step-by-step explanation:

    The initial price of the sweater is $30. The store is having a sell that will reduce the price by 30%. This means that there is a reduction in the original amount of the sweater by 30% which is expressed as

    30/100 * 30 = $9

    The new price of the sweater would be 30 - 9 = $21

    Since a sales tax of 5% will be added to the final purchase price, the value of the tax would be

    5/100 * 21 = 0.05*21 = $1.05

    Jake's total cost would be

    21 + 1.05 = $22.05
