To find the final price of the shirt after a 20% discount and a 4% sales tax, follow these steps:
1. **Calculate the discount amount:**
\[
\text{Discount} = \text{Original Price} \times \text{Discount Rate} = 16.00 \times 0.20 = 3.20
\]
2. **Subtract the discount from the original price:**
\[
\text{Price after Discount} = \text{Original Price} - \text{Discount} = 16.00 - 3.20 = 12.80
\]
3. **Calculate the sales tax on the discounted price:**
\[
\text{Sales Tax} = \text{Price after Discount} \times \text{Sales Tax Rate} = 12.80 \times 0.04 = 0.512
\]
4. **Add the sales tax to the discounted price:**
\[
\text{Final Price} = \text{Price after Discount} + \text{Sales Tax} = 12.80 + 0.512 = 13.312
\]
Therefore, the final price of the shirt after the discount and sales tax is **$13.31** (rounded to two decimal places).
