A store is offering 25% off all shoes. Declan purchases shoes and clothes. The expression representing his total cost (including 8% tax) is c + (1 - 0.25)s + 0.08[c + (1 - 0.25s]. Which term represents the cost of the shoes after the discount

Answer 1

Answer:

39.5 = tax represents the cost of shoes after the discount

Step-by-step explanation:

c=(1- 0.25)+0.08 [c+(1-0.25s] +8% tax

c= cost

s=shoes

1- 0.25=0.75+0.08= $0.83

c=$0.83

[0.83+(1-0.25s]

1-0.25=0.75

0.83+0.75 =$1.58

                    x 25
