Question

A department store purchases pairs of gym shoes for $45. The store marks up the price by adding 136% of this amount to $45 to determine the selling price. The store is having a sale where all shoes are on sale for 15% off. Customers also pay an 8% sales tax on the discounted price. What is the final price of a pair of shoes?

Answer 1

56,18

Explanation:

45x1,36=61,2

61,2x0,15=9,18

61,2-9,18=52,02

52,02x0,08=4,16

52,02+4,16=56,18
