Question

A pair of shoes usually sells for $56. If the shoes are 40% off, and sales tax is 8%, what is the total price of the shoes, including tax?
A. $39.31
B. $36.62
C. $36.29
D. $38.08

Answer 1

It will be c because 56-40%+8%=$36.29

Answer 2

[56(100-40)/100](108/100)

56(6/10)(108/100)=$36.288

So the cost plus tax is $36.29  (to nearest cent)
