Answer:

The total amount paid for shoes = $63.75

Step-by-step explanation:

The marked price of the shoes = $ 80

Discount = 25 %

So, the discount offered = 25 % of 80

= [tex]\frac{25}{100}  \times 80 = 20[/tex]

So, the Sale Price  = Marked price - discount

= $ 80 -$ 20 = $ 60

Now, we need to calculate the sale tax of 6.25 % on $ 60.

Also, we know that  Sales Tax = Sales Tax rate x Sale Price

= $ 60 x 0.062  = $ 3.75

Total Cost = Sale Price + Sales Tax

=  $ 60 + $ 3.75  = $63.75

Hence, the total amount paid for shoes = $63.75
