Question

A pair of shoes usually sells for $67. If the shoes are 20% off, and sales tax is 8%, what is the total price of the shoes including tax

Answer 1

Answer: 57.888

Step-by-step explanation: $67.00 - 20% = 53.60+ 8% = $57.88

Answer 2

Answer: 57.89 $

Explanation:

67 $/1 x 80/100 = 53.6 $

*Here, 80% is used to represent the cost of the shoes. Since they are 20% off, you are actually paying 80% of the price.

Final price of shoes = price of shoes + (price of shoes x sales tax)

final price of shoes = 53.6 $ + (53.6 x 0.08%)

final price of shoes = 53.6$ + 4.29 $

final price of shoes = 57.89 $
