A pair of shoes costs $52.99 and the state sales tax is 8%. Use the formula C = p + rp to find the total cost of the shoes, where C is the total cost, p is the price, and r is the sales tax rate.

OpenStudy (tester97):

\[C=p+rp\] \[p=52.99\] \[r=.08\] \[C=52.99+0.08\times52.99\] \[C=52.99+4.23\] \[C=57.22\]
