Question

Sara bought a pair of shoes that were $64 but were on sale for $46. Sales tax is 6%. How much did she pay for the shoes?

Answer 1

$48.76

Explanation:

So, Sara bought the pair of shoes for $46 due to a discount.

Sales tax was 6% or 0.06. In other words, she had to pay 0.06(46)=2.76 for tax.

Thus, the total amount Sara paid for the shoes is $46+$2.76=$48.76
