a. Isaac's total bill is $84.53
b. Isaac's price after the discount is $63.40
c. The shoe store clerk's commission before the coupon is $9.48 and $7.11 after the coupon
Solution to the first question
Total bill = cost of shoes + tax paid
Tax paid = tax rate + cost of shoes
Cost of shoes = $37.00 + $42.00. = $79
Tax paid = $79 + 0.07 = $5.53
Total bill = $5.53 + $79 = $84.53
Solution to the second question
The discounted price of the shoes can be found by subtracting the value of the discount from the price of the shoes
Discounted price = cost of the shoes = value of the 25% discount
Value of the 5% discount = 0.25 x $79= $19.75
Discounted price = $79 - $19.75 = 59.25
Bill = discounted price x ( 1 + tax rate)
59.25 x 1.07 = $63.40
Solution to the third question
Commission before the coupon
Commission = 12% x price before the coupon
0.12 x $79 = $9.48
Commission after the coupon
Commission = 12% x price after the coupon
0.12 x 59.25 = $7.11
