Question

jay wants to buy a pair of shoes that have a regular price of 95. he found them on sale for 45% off. if the store charges 8% tax, how much did he have to pay for the shoes?

Answer 1

45% of 95 is 42.75. So since they are 45% off subtract. Making the new pre tax cost of the shoes $52.25. 8% of 52.25 for the tax is $4.18. So for the total cost add 4.18+52.25. The total cost paid for the shoes should be $56.43
