    Answer: Paige paid $11.22 for the T-shirt, including sales tax

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Paige buys T-shirts that regularly cost $15 during the sale. If a 20% discount is applied, the value of the discount would be

    20/100 * 15 = 0.2 * 15 = $3

    The price of the T-shirt would be

    15 - 3 = $12

    She also pays 6.5% in tax, which is added after the discount is applied. This means that the amount of tax that she paid is

    6.5/100 * 12 = 0.065 * 12 = $0.78

    Therefore, the total amount that Paige paid for the T-shirt, including sales tax is

    12 - 0.78 = $11.22
