Question

A pair of shoes is ticketed $49.99, but marked 25% off. You have a coupon for an additional 10% off the sale price. You,of course, will also have to pay 6.75% sale tax on yours shoes. What is the total cost of the shoes?

Answer 1

The answer is $34.69

You would take 49.99 x 0.25 = 12.4975

Then 49.99 x 0.10 = 4.999. This is to find the amount of your discounts.

So 49.99 - 12.4975 = 37.4925

Then, 37.4925 - 4.999 = 32.4935

Then, 32.4935 x 0.0675 = 2.19331125

32.4935 + 2.19331125 = 34.6861125 or 34.69

Answer 2

$36.02

25% off 49.99 = 37.50

10% off 37.50= 33.75

Plus tax = 36.02
