To find the final cost of the shirt after the sale discount and including tax, follow these steps:
1. **Calculate the sale price**:
The shirt is originally priced at $24.50 and has a 30% discount.
\[
\text{Discount} = 24.50 \times 0.30 = 7.35
\]
\[
\text{Sale Price} = 24.50 - 7.35 = 17.15
\]
2. **Calculate the tax on the sale price**:
The tax rate is 7%, so we calculate the tax on the sale price.
\[
\text{Tax} = 17.15 \times 0.07 = 1.20
\]
3. **Calculate the final price including tax**:
\[
\text{Final Price} = \text{Sale Price} + \text{Tax} = 17.15 + 1.20 = 18.35
\]
Thus, the final cost of the shirt, including tax, is **$18.35**.
