Answer 2

Answer: The total purchase price would be $28.70.

Explanation:

Since we have given that

Original price of pair of shoes = $35.00

Discount rate = 25%

Sales tax rate = 7%

Amount of sales on original price would be

`(7)/(100)* 35\\\\=0.07* 35\\\\=\$2.45`

Amount of discount from original price is given by

`(25)/(100)* 35\\\\=0.25* 35\\\\=\$8.75`

Price of the pair of shoes after discount is given by

`\$35-\$8.75\\\\=\$26.25`

Price of pair of shoes after sales is given by

`\$26.25+\$2.45\\\\=\$28.70`

Hence, the total purchase price would be $28.70.
