Total amount pay for the shoes is $28.67 .

Explanation:

As given

The price of a pair of shoes is $28.

The sales tax rate is 2.39 percent.

2.39% is written in the decimal form .

`= (2.39)/(100)`

= 0.0239

Sales tax price = 0.0239 × Price of pair of shoes

= 0.0239 × 28

= $ 0.6692

= $0.67 (Approx)

Total shoes price = Price of pair of shoes + Sales tax price
