Question

A pair of shoes usually sells for $61. If the shoes are 40% off, and sales tax is 8%, what is the total price of the shoes, including tax?

Answer 1

3952.8$

Explanation:

61$ : 100 = x : 60% (since it is 40% off, the remaining is 60% of the price)

100x : 61 x 60

100x : 3360

3360 divided by 100

x = 36.6

36.6 : 100% = x 108%

100x : 36.6 x 108

x = 3952.8

3952.8 divided by 100

39.528
