?

He should have subtracted the discount and added the sales tax.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given information is -

The T-shirt is on sale.

Chase first found the amount of the discount and added that to the original price. (This is wrong as discounts are always subtracted from the original price)  

Next, he subtracted off the amount of the sales tax. (Sales tax has to be always added to the final amount)

Lets take an example.

Suppose you bought a t shirt that had an original price of $50. It was on $20 discount and the sales tax was 5%. So, total bill will be :

New price = dollars

Sales tax amount = dollars  

Total bill = dollars

This is the correct way to calculate.

So, the correct option is -

He should have subtracted the discount and added the sales tax.
