a store sells a certain toaster oven for 35. The store offers a 30% discount and charges 8% sales tax. How much will the toaster oven cost?

Calculate discounted price:
Discounted Price = Full Price * (1 - Discount Percent)

Since 30% = 0.3, we have
Discounted Price = 35 * (1 - 0.3)
Discounted Price = 35 * 0.7
Discounted Price = 24.5

Calculate after-tax amount:
After-tax amount = Discounted Price * (1 + Tax Percent)

Since 8% = 0.08, we have
Discounted Price = 24.5 * (1 + 0.08)
Discounted Price = 24.5 * 1.08
Discounted Price = 26.46
