A pair of shoes usually sells for $65. If the shoes are 40% off, and sales tax is 5%, what is the total price of the shoes, including tax? $44.36 $42.25 $41.34 $40.95

OpenStudy (mayankdevnani):

First find the price only when shoes are 40% off

OpenStudy (yummy123):

how

OpenStudy (yummy123):

OpenStudy (mayankdevnani):

first find 40% of 65

OpenStudy (mexican_white_boy):

the equation would be 65 x .60 =x and then x + .05x

OpenStudy (mexican_white_boy):

how so

OpenStudy (yummy123):

39 iss the answer when it is 40% off. Now do i subtract 5%

OpenStudy (mexican_white_boy):

you add 5%

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you put it in and tell me why cause i see the prices up there o.o

OpenStudy (yummy123):

40.95

OpenStudy (mayankdevnani):

right @YUMMY123

OpenStudy (mayankdevnani):

now you have to find 5%of 65

OpenStudy (yummy123):

yall are the best

OpenStudy (mexican_white_boy):

Exactly what said to do @Migoz300 it would end up with 40.95 you just cant do math xD

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i swear its 42.25 but ight >.<

OpenStudy (mexican_white_boy):

no problem

OpenStudy (anonymous):

nooo cause look you were supposed to put 65*.40 which is 26 right??? alright subtract 65 by 26 which is 39! no 65*.05 gives ya 3.25 now 39+3.25 is?????

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@Mexican_White_boy

OpenStudy (mayankdevnani):

@Migoz300 is right ! GOOD JOB :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OH YEAH HOW YALL FEEELLLLLLL IMMM AAAAA BEAASSTTTT YUUSSSS >:D

OpenStudy (mayankdevnani):

5 % of 65=3.25

OpenStudy (mayankdevnani):

since it is a sales tax,you have to add up

OpenStudy (mayankdevnani):

so 3+3.25=42.25

OpenStudy (mayankdevnani):

This is your final answer @YUMMY123

OpenStudy (mexican_white_boy):

then why did you say 40.95 was correct -.- @mayankdevnani

OpenStudy (mayankdevnani):

OpenStudy (mexican_white_boy):

tighten up @mayankdevnani

OpenStudy (mayankdevnani):
