    Step-by-step explanation:

    On Monday, a jacket cost $36.95 and a shirt cost $21.42. On Friday, the jacket was discounted by 20%. It means that the amount that was taken off the jacket is

    20/100 * 36.95 = 0.20 * 36.95 = $7.39

    The cost of the jacket on Friday would be

    36.95 - 7.39 = $29.56

    Also, on Friday, the shirt was discounted by 1/3. It means that the amount that was taken off the jacket is

    21.42/3 = $7.14

    The cost of the shirt on Friday would be

    21.42 - 7.14 = $14.28

    The total price of the jacket and shirt on Friday, before sales tax is

    29.56 + 14.28 = $43.84
