Question

joey is going shopping for a new pair of sneakers. He finds a pair that have an original price of $155. They are on sale today for 30% off. How much does Joey pay for the sneakers including 8% sales tax?

Answer 1

Answer:, Joey will pay $117.18 for sneakers.

Explanation:

Given: original price = $155

Discount rate = 30%

Tax rate = 8%

Price after discount = Original price - (Discount) x (original price)

`= 155-0.30* 155\\\\=155-46.5\\\\=\$\ 108.5`

Tax = Tax rate x (Price after discount)

`= 0.08 * 108.5`

= $ 8.68

Final price for sneakers = Price after discount + Tax

= $ (108.5+8.68)

= $ 117.18

Hence
