Question

A pair of shoes usually sells for $67. If the shoes are 40% off, and sales tax is 8%, what is the total price of the shoes, including tax?

Answer 1

if it is 40% off, it means you have to pay 60% of its price.
$67 × 60/100 = $40.20
the 8% of sales tax is added from the $40.20
$40.20 × 8/100 = $3.22
total price = $40.20 + $3.22 = $43.42
