Question

A pair of shoes usually sells for $62. If the shoes are 40% off, and sales tax is 7%, what is the total price of the shoes, including tax?

Answer 1

Answer:

  $39.80

Step-by-step explanation:

If the price is reduced by 40%, it is 100% -40% = 60% of what it was. If 7% tax is added to that, the result is 100% +7% = 107% of the sale price. The final price is ...

  $62 × 0.60 × 1.07 = $39.80
