The total price would be $63.60
Initial Price = $60

Markup = 25% x $60 = 0.25 x 60 = $15

Price after Markup = $60 + $15 = $75

Discount = 20% x $75 = 0.25 x 70 = $18.75

Price after Discount = $75 - $18.75 = $56.25

Sales Tax = 6% x $56.25 - 0.06 x 56.25 = $3.38

Price = $56.25 + $3.38 = $59.63

Answer: $59.63
