To find the total cost of the two pairs of jeans, we multiply the price of each pair ($30) by the number of pairs (2): 30 * 2 = $<<30*2=60>>60.
To find the amount of sales tax, we multiply the total cost of the jeans ($60) by the sales tax rate (6% or 0.06): 60 * 0.06 = $<<60*0.06=3.6>>3.6.
To find the total amount the customer needs to pay, we add the total cost of the jeans ($60) and the sales tax ($3.6): 60 + 3.6 = $<<60+3.6=63.6>>63.6.
To find the amount of change the customer should receive, we subtract the total amount he can pay with his gift certificate and cash from the total cost: 63.6 - 50 - 20 = $<<63.6-50-20=-6.4>>-6.4.
The correct answer is none of the above, as the customer should not receive change since he does not have enough money to purchase the items.
