A pair of shoes usually sells for $69. If the shoes are 40% off, and sales tax is 5%, what is the total price of the shoes, including tax?

$43.47

Step-by-step explanation:

Discount

First, find the discount.

Multiply the discount rate by the regular price of the shoes

discount rate*shoe price

40%*69

Convert 40% to a decimal by dividing by 100

40%/100=0.4

0.4*69

Multiply

27.6

$27.60 is the discount.

Now, subtract the discount from the regular price.

regular price-discount

69-27.6

41.4

Tax

Next, find the tax.

Multiply the tax rate by the discounted price of the shoes.

tax rate * discount price

5%*41.4

Convert 5% to a decimal by dividing by 100

5%/100=0.05

0.05*41.4

Multiply

2.07

Since this is tax, we add the tax onto the price of the shoes.

41.4+2.07

43.47

The total price is $43.47
