Question

The price of a pair of shoes is $28. The sales tax rate is 2.39 percent. What is the total amount you would pay if you bought these shoes? $26.92 $28.59 $28.67

Answer 1

0.0239 x 28 = .6692 (this is the amount of tax paid)
shoes + tax = total
$28 + 0.6692 = $28.6692 which rounds to $28.67 (money is always rounded to the hundredths place)
