Answer:

$1.92

Explanation:

The regular price of an item = $80.00

The sale on the item = 20%

Price after the 20% discount = 80 -(20% × 80)

= 80 - (0.20 × 80)

= 80 - 16

= $64

There is a rate of sales tax = 3%

The price of sales tax = 3% × 64

= 0.03 × 64

= $1.92

The amount of the sales tax is $1.92.
