The total cost was $8.80 before tax.

Step-by-step explanation:

The prices of items;

$3.25, $0.55, $2.95, and $4.25

Total price = Sum of all prices

Total price = $3.25 + $0.55 + $2.95 + $4.25

Total price = $11.00

Sale = 20% off

Discount = 20% of total price

Discount = $\frac{20}{100}*11$

Discount = $\frac{220}{100}= \$2.20$

Total cost of items bought = Total price - Discount

Total cost of items bought = 11.00 - 2.20 = $8.80

The total cost was $8.80 before tax.
