Explanation:

#color(blue)("Assumption: The price of $60 excludes tax")#

If 5% discount is removed then the remainder is:

#(100-5)/100 = 95/100->95%#

So the sale price is: #95/100xx$60 =$57#

The associated tax for this price is: #5/100xx$57 = $2.85#

The total sale price including the tax is #$57+$2.85= $59.85#
