Question

A pair of shoes usually sells for $65. If the shoes are 20% off, and sales tax is 6%, what is the total price of the shoes, including tax?

Answer 1

Answer:

$55.12

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we will take 20% off of the shoes.

65/100= .65 This is 1%

Multiplied by 20 to equal $13

We will then take the 20% off of the initial price

$65-$13= $52

Next, we need to add the sales tax

52/100= .52 This is 1%

Multiplied by 6 to equal 3.12

We will then add the sales tax to the new price

$52 + $3.12 = $55.12 total
