Question

The price of a pair of shoes is $28. The sales tax rate is 2. 39 percent. What is the total amount you would pay if you bought these shoes?.

Answer 1

The sales tax on the shoes is $28 x 2.39% = $0.66.

The total amount you would pay is $28 + $0.66 = $28.66.

Here is the solution in mathematical equation:

Sales Tax = Price x Sales Tax Rate

= $28 x 2.39%= $0.66

Total Amount = Price + Sales Tax

= $28 + $0.66

= $28.66
