Question

A pair of new shoes were originally $75, but I got them during the sale for 20% off. If the tax in my area is 8.25% , how much did I spend in all ?

Answer 1

You spent $64.95 or $65

Explanation:

As per given conditions,

`75 * (8.25 \: percent+ 1) * (1 - 20 \: percent)`

`= > 75 *( (8.25)/(100) + 1) * (1 - (20)/(100))`

`= > 75 * (0.0825 + 1) * (1 - 0.2)`

`= > 75 * 1.0825 * 0.8`

`= > 64.95`

If you round off to the nearest, then you get $65
