Question

Answer 1

$42.00 should be your answer

Answer 2

$42 will be the final price of the pair of shoes

Explanation:

As per the statement:

If the price of a pair of shoes is $35.00 before tax, and tax is 20%,

⇒Price of a pair of shoes before tax = $35

Tax = 20%

Sales tax price =
`(20)/(100) * 35 = (1)/(5) * 35 = \$7`

We have to find the final price of the pair of shoes be.

Final price after tax = price before tax+ sales tax price = $35 + $7 = $42

Therefore, $42 will be the final price of the pair of shoes
