Question

It’s hard may anyone help me answer this question

Answer 1

Answer:

D. $53.76

Step-by-step explanation:

When calculating discounts and sales tax, you need to first change your percentages to decimals by dividing each by 100:

20%/100 = 0.2

5%/100 = 0.05

Since the shoes are at a 20% discount, you will only pay 80% of the original amount, or:  $64.00 x 0.8 = $51.20

However, you also need to pay a 5% sales tax, in addition to the sales price, so you can take the discounted amount and multiply:

$51.20 x 1.05 = $53.76 total cost
