what?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the answers chooses are 2.17, 59. 19, 33.50 and 2.67

OpenStudy (anonymous):

25% off would mean that the shoes cost 75% of the original cost. 0.75*34.80=26.10. 6% tax would make the final cost 1.06*26.10=27.67. 27.67-25= $2.67 needed to purchase shoes.

sales tax = 34.8 (.06) \[= 2.088 \approx 2.09\] 34.80 (.25) = 8.7 34.8 - 8.7 = 26.1 + 2.09 =28.19 Phil need $3.19 more
