To answer this, we need to start by converting our sales tax percentage into a decimal we can multiply with easier. 8.25% / 100 = 0.0825. To find how much tax you will pay on a pair of $65.95 shoes, multiply it by 0.0825. 65.95*0.0825 = $5.44 Add this back into the price of the shoes to find your total. 65.95 + 5.44 = $71.39
