39*7.25% = 2.8275 roundup to 2.83
39+2.83 = 41.83 & that is the total cost after tax

Answer: $41.83

Explanation:

Given : The sales tax rate = 7.25 = 0.0725 [Divide by 100 to convert in decimal]

The cost of a pair of shoes = $39.00

Tax amount to pay = Tax rate × Cost of a pair of shoes


=0.0725*39=2.8275\approx2.83\text{ [Rounded to nearest cent]}

Now, the total amount you pay for a pair of shoes = Cost of a pair +Tax amount

= $39.00+$2.83=$41.83

Hence, you would pay $41.83 .
