To find the price after the 20% discount, we first need to calculate 20% of $16.00:

20% of $16.00 = 0.20 * $16.00 = $3.20

Subtract this discount from the original price to get the discounted price:

$16.00 - $3.20 = $12.80

Now, calculate the 4% sales tax on the discounted price:

4% of $12.80 = 0.04 * $12.80 = $0.51

Add this tax to the discounted price to get the final price:

$12.80 + $0.51 = $13.31

Therefore, the final price of the shirt after the discount is taken and the tax is added is $13.31.
A store is having a three-day sale. On the first day of the sale, the price of an item is reduced by 10% from its regular price.

Each day of the sale after the first day, the price of each sale item is reduced to equal 90% of its price from the previous day.

One sale item has an original price of $10.00.
