Answer 2

Answer:

D) $85.

Step-by-step explanation:

Givens

• The regular price is $103.
• The sale is 10% off.
• The sales tax is 8%.

So, first let's take out the 10% off. We need to find te 10% of $103

$0.10(103)=10.30$

That means the price of the pair of shoes after the discount is

$103-10.30=92.70$

With the 10% off, the pair of shoes cost $92.70.

Now, we find the sales tax of 8%

$0.08(92.70)=7.416$

Then, we subtract

$92.70-7.416=85.28$

As you can observe, Callie must pay $85.28 for the pair of shoes.

Therefore, the most reasonable amount is D) $85.
