Answer

Le prix de l'aquarium après la réduction de 60% est :<br /><br />100$ * (1 - 0.60) = 100$ * 0.40 = 40$<br /><br />Ensuite, on calcule la taxe de 5% sur ce prix réduit :<br /><br />40$ * 0.05 = 2$<br /><br />Enfin, on ajoute la taxe au prix réduit pour obtenir le coût total :<br /><br />40$ + 2$ = 42$<br /><br />Donc, le coût total de l'aquarium était de $\boxed{42}$$.<br />
