Q. A pair of shoes is $32. They are on sale for 15% off and the tax is 6%. How much does it cost?
Question Prompt: Question prompt: How much does a pair of shoes cost after a 15% discount and 6% tax?
Calculate Discount: Original price of shoes: $32. Calculate the discount amount. Discount = Original price × Discount percentage = 32×10015=32×0.15=$4.8.
Calculate Sale Price: Subtract the discount from the original price to get the sale price. Sale price = Original price - Discount = 32−4.8=$27.2.
Calculate Tax Amount: Calculate the tax amount on the sale price. Tax = Sale price × Tax percentage = 27.2×1006=27.2×0.06=$(1.632).
