Angeles for a pair of shoes that cost $39.00?

Answer 1

41.83

Answer 2

The sales tax in California is 7.25%, which means that for every dollar you spend, you need to pay an additional 7.25 cents in sales tax. So if you buy a pair of shoes that costs $39.00, you would need to pay an additional $2.84 in sales tax (39 x 0.0725 = 2.84). This means that the total cost of the shoes would be $41.84 (39 + 2.84 = 41.84).
