Answer:

$32.00

Explanation:

To find the sales tax always multiply the sales tax to to the cost of you item.

Being your sales tax is 4% you will Multiply 30.99 x .04 (not just 4)

30.99 x .04 = 1.2396 ( round to the nearest tenth) since the number after the 3 is 5 or above ,,,,round it off to 24...Making it $1.24 (tax) Now add that to your cost of the shoes

$30.99 + $1.24 = $32,23

For future : if the tax is 10, 20, 35%... You will multiply the cost of item by .10, .20, .35 (put the point in front of it .
