This is your answer.... all you are doing is substituting what ever the variable is
In order to solve, you must multiply the original price of the sneakers by the sales tax (in decimal form). So,
$65.95 x 0.0825 = $5.440875 < this is the amount of tax. Add this to the original price to find the total.
$65.95 + $5.440875 = $71.390875, which rounds to $71.39 with tax.
