Answer 1

To find the tax amount you will pay, multiply the price of the shoes by the sales tax percentage.

63.20*.045=$2.84

Answer 2

The sales tax would be 2.8368.

Explanation:

Given,

The price of a pair of shoes = 63.04,

Also, the sales tax = 4.5 %,

Thus, the sales tax in buying the shoes = 4.5 % of the price of shoes

= 4.5% of 63.04

`=(4.5* 63.04)/(100)`

`=(283.68)/(100)`

`=2.8368`
