First, you need to get the denominators (the bottom number) the same. The smallest number to get them to is 15.
So, what you need to do is take 2/5 and multiply the bottom by 3 to get 15, and since you did it to the bottom, you need to do it to the top too. So you would get, 6/15.
Then, for 1/3, take the bottom number and multiply it by 5. Then, since you did it to the bottom, do it to the top as well. You would get 5/15.
Then, you need to put them side by side. You don't add the bottom, so your denominator would remain 15, but your numerator (top) would get added.
<u> 6</u> + <u>5</u> = <u>11</u>
15 15 15
Turn the percentage into a decimal
30% = 0.3
Multiply.
80 * 0.3 = 24
Best of Luck!

Lets price of article = x
Tax is 8% of article = 0.08x
x+0.08x=7.02
1.08x=7.02
x=7.02/1.08
x=6.5
The retail price is $6.50.
