A pair of shoes usually sells for $61. If the shoes are 20% off, and sales tax is 5%, what is the total price of the shoes, including tax?

Answer 1

You first multiply $61 by .20(decimal form of 20%) and get $12.2

Since this is 20% off(that means it's less than the original price) so subtract 12.2 from $61=48.8

then add the tax so 48.8 by .05 =2.44

so 48.8+2.44

the final price is $51.24
