    Final price = 9.6 * (105/100) = 9.6*1.05 = 10.08 $

    Step-by-step explanation:

    The original price of the album is 12 to find out the price after the discount is applied we need to compute 100% - 20% = 80% of the original price. So we can use the following expression:

    Price after discount = original price * (80/100)

    Price after discount = 12 * (80/100)

    Price after discount = 12 * 0.8 = 9.6 $

    Now we have to include the sale tax of 5%, since it's a tax we need to add it to the original value so 100% + 5% = 105% of the sale's price:

    Final price = Price after discount * (105/100)

    Final price = 9.6 * (105/100) = 9.6*1.05 = 10.08 $

    Total price of the album including tax is $10.08

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Sales price without discount and tax = $12

    % discount = 20%

    Sales price with discount = 12 - (20/100 * 12) = 12 - 2.4 = $9.6

    % sales tax = 5%

    Tax = 5/100 * 9.6 = $0.48

    Total price of the album including tax = $9.6 + $0.48 = $10.08
