Answer:

$59.40

Step-by-step explanation:

8% is equal to 0.08

since you are adding the tax to the original cost you will multiply 55 by 1.08 to get the cost of the shoes plus the tax.

You can use mental math for this equation because it is fairly easy.

You would use mental math by looking at the equation and thinking, “What is 1/75 times 1/2?” Since you want to find out what w is. Since this is mental math, you would know the answer directly, it is 1/150.

Meaning w = 1/150
