The sale discounts your purchase by half the price of a pair of pants, so you pay for 2.5 pairs of pants. The sale price of the pants is then ...
$24.99 × 2.5 = $62.48
The added tax multiplies this value by 1.06, so you pay ...
1.06 × $62.48 = $66.23

<em>Comment on the answer</em>
Whether you pay $66.23 or $66.22 depends on how the discount is calculated. If you get the benefit of the half-penny (the discount is rounded up), then the sale price is $62.47 and the total is $66.22.
