well first you want to add the sales tax which would be 8% of 40 which is 3.2. So it costs $43.2 without the discount. so then you want to find 20% of 43.2 which is 8.64. So the last step is to subtract 8.64 from 43.2 which is

43.2 - 8.64 = $34.56 is your answer

40$ x .20 or 20% = 8
40$ + 8 = 32$
32$ x .08 or 8% = 2.56 the tax rate
32$ + 2.56 = 34.56$ Price of jeans including tax.
