Question

A pair of shoes usually sell for 60$. If the shoes are 20% off, and a sales tax of 6%, what is the total price of the shoes, including tax?

Answer 1

$50.88 is the total amount because 60 - 20% = $48 then you add 6% sales tax which is $2.88 = $50.88

Answer 2

If the shoes are 20% off, then ur actually paying 80%
0.80(60) = 48...this is without tax

48(1.06) = 50.88 <== total cost

or this way...
48 + 0.06(48) = 
48 + 2.88 =
50.88

so the total cost is $ 50.88
