    Step-by-step explanation:

    Total cost of the two T-shirts that you purchased is $25. The sales tax on the T-shirts is 8%. This means that the additional amount that you will pay on the T shirt is

    25/100 * 25 = 0.25 * 25 = $6.25

    The new cost of the T shirt would be the sum of the original cost and the value of the sales tax. Therefore,

    New cost = 25 + 6.25 = $31.25

    You have a $30 gift card from Amazon. The new cost of the shirts is higher than that value of the gift card. So the gift card will not cover the cost of the T shirts
