Question

A pair of shoes usually sells for $64. If the shoes are 30% off, and the sales tax is 5%, what is the total price of the shoes, including tax?

Answer 1

The total price of the shoes = $47.04

Explanation:

100% = $64

70% = cost on sale

64 x 0.7 = $44.80

100% = $44.80

105% = $44.80 + sales tax

44.8 x 1.05 = $47.04
