In this question, we are required to find the total amount he paid to buy the shirt.
It is given that sales tax is 5.5 % over the amount paid.
The cost price of the shirt = $ 24.
The total amount will be = Cost price + 5.5 % of Cost price
Or
Total amount paid = $ 24 × 1.055 (i.e. 100 % + 5.5 %)
Total amount = $ 24 + (5.5 % × $ 24)
Total amount paid = $ 24 + $ 1.32 = $ 25.32
