Oscar is correct.
When you calculate discounts & sale price, you do not add them. With sales tax, you only tax what you pay for.
Find the discount price
28.50 • 0.3 = 8.55
Subtract
28.50 - 8.55 = 19.95
Find the sales tax
19.95 • 0.1 = 1.99
Add sales tax
19.95 + 1.99 = 21.94
Oscar paid $21.94
Since Kim wants the same book, she is going to pay the same price.

They are both correct
Oscar
28.50 x 30% =8.55
28.50 -8.55 =19.95
$19.95 <--discount the add tax
19.95 x10% =1.995
add tax:
19.95 + 1.995 =21.95
$21.95 < $22.00 Oscar has enough money
