A basketball was originally priced at $25, but Tucker waited to buy it until the basketball was on sale for 20% off. If he paid 5% sales tax on the sale price, how much did he pay in total?

The answer to your question is $21.0

Step-by-step explanation:

Data

Original price = $25

Discount = 20%

Taxes = 5%

Process

1.- Calculate the price with the discount

                     $25 100%

                        x     20%

                        x = (20 x 25) / 100

                        x = 500 / 100

                        x = $5

Price after the discount = $25 - $5

                                       = $20

2.- Calculate the price after taxes

                     $20 100%

                         x     5%

                       x = (5 x 20) / 100

                       x = 100 / 100

                       x = $1

Final price = $20 + $1

                = $21
