Total amount paid by James = $69.63
Step-by-step explanation
Actual price paid for the first shirt = [40 - (0.20 x 40)] = $32
Actual price paid for the second shirt = [40 - (0.15 x 40)] = $34
Total sale price = $32 + $34 = $66
Sales tax paid = (5.5/100) x 66 = $3.63
Total amount paid by James = $66 + $3.63 = $69.63
