Answer 2

Answer:

The pair of shoes would cost $68.25 if the sales tax rate is 75%.

Step-by-step explanation:

Change the percent to a decimal.

75% = 75/100 = 0.75

Multiply tax rate by price of the shoes.

0.75 x $39.00 = $29.25

Add the sales tax amount to the original cost of the shoes.

$39.00 + $29.25 = $68.25
