Question

Original price of shoes is $104.95 a discount of 30% tax 2%

Answer 1

Solving for the price of a $104.95 pair of shoes with 30% discount, after 2% taxes

First, we have to calculate the 70% of the original value (30% discount). Then, we calculate the 2% of that value (70% of $104.95) and add it up, as following:

`\begin{gathered} 104.95*(70)/(10)=73.47 \\ 73.47*(2)/(100)=1.47 \\ 73.47+1.47=74.94 \end{gathered}`

Thus, the retail price of the shoes, with 30% discount and after 2% taxes, would be 74.94
