Question

A pair of shoes usually sells for $68. If the shoes are 20% off, and sales tax is 5%, what is the total price of the shoes, including tax?

Answer 1

Answer:

$Total\ Price = \ 57.12$

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1:  Determine the discounted price

$Discount=Original* (Total\ percent - Sale\ percent)$

$Discount=\ 68 * (1 - 0.2)$

$Discount=\ 68 * (0.8)$

$Discount=\ 54.4$

Step 2:  Determine the total with tax

$Total\ Price = Discount * (Total\ percent + Tax\ percent)$

$Total\ Price = \ 54.4*(1+0.05)$

$Total\ Price = \ 54.4*(1.05)$

$Total\ Price = \ 57.12$

Answer:  $Total\ Price = \ 57.12$
