Answer 1

Answer:

The sales tax would be 2.8368.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

The price of a pair of shoes = 63.04,

Also, the sales tax = 4.5 %,

Thus, the sales tax in buying the shoes = 4.5 % of the price of shoes

= 4.5% of 63.04

$=\frac{4.5\times 63.04}{100}$

$=\frac{283.68}{100}$

$=2.8368$

Answer 2

To find the tax amount you will pay, multiply the price of the shoes by the sales tax percentage.

63.20*.045=$2.84
