Answer:

After the coupon and sales tax were applied, he paid $15.27 for the shirt.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that a shirt is $16.95. This is reduced by 15% due to the coupon.

$100\% - 15\% = 85\%$

Therefore, 85% of the shirt price is still active.

$\displaystyle \frac{85}{100}=0.85$

We can multiply this value by the shirt price to find the current price.

$16.95 \times 0.85 = 14.4075 \approx \$14.41$

However, the shirt also has a sales tax of 6% applied after the coupon.

$\displaystyle \frac{6}{100} = 0.06$ a

Now, we need to find the total price for the shirt.

$\displaystyle 14.41 \times 1.06 = 15.2746 \approx \$15.27$

Therefore, he paid $15.27 for the shirt.
