Question

A pair of shoes originally costs $60. They are on sale for 25 percent off and sales tax is 7%. Cost is calculated by first applying the discount, then sales tax.

what is the total cost of the shoes including tax?​

Answer 1

$48.15

Explanation:

Subtract discount percentage

1) 60 - (60*(25/100))

2) 60 - (60 * 0.25)

3) 60 - 15 = 45

Add sales tax

4) 45 * (7/100)

5) 45 * (0.7) = 3.15

6) 45 + 3.15 = 48.15
