Answer: The total price of the shoes, including tax =$59.36
Explanation:
Given : The selling price of a pair of shoes = $70
Discount on shoes = 20%
The selling price of shoes after 20% discount = selling price - 20% (selling price)
= $70 - 0.20 x 70 [ we convert percent into decimal by divining it by 100.]
= $70 (1-0.2)
= $70 (0.8)
=$56
Tax rate = 6% = 0.06
Now , Sales tax = (Total sales) x (Tax rate)
= ($56) x (0.06)
=$ 3.36
Now , the total price of the shoes, including tax = (selling price of shoes after 20% discount)+(Sales tax)
= $56+3.36
= $59.36
Hence , the total price of the shoes, including tax =$59.36
