Find the total purchase price if a pair of shoes originally costs $35.00 and are on sale for 25% off. The sales tax is 7%. Round the answer to the nearest cent. (Calculate the sales tax on the discounted price of the shoes.)

MusicGeek:

So the 25%, you would change that to 0.25. Then you would multiply 0.25*35 and get 8.75. Then take 35.00 and subtract 8.75 from it to get 26.25. Multiply that by (1.07) and you get 28.09. So the price of the shoes after the sale and tax is added will be $28.09.

Logan2020:

Is price of product $140.00 this is the sales tax 7.5% what is the total

TutoriaIs:

\[44(0.75)=33.\] Using that 11 we got, you can verify \[33+11=44.\] Which gives you the answer.

TutoriaIs:

\[tax = 140 × 0.075=?\]

Logan2020:

TutoriaIs:

Perfect! \[tax=10.5\] \[140.00+10.50=?\] Your answer is what that equals.

Music City is having a sale on compact discs. The regular price of $14.00 is decreased by 20%. What is the sale price?

MusicGeek:

You would take 14*0.20 and you get 2.8. Then you subtract 2.8 from 14. When you do that, you get 11.2. So the sale price is $11.20.

Logan2020:

Price tax rate $27.50 6%

Logan2020:

find total

MusicGeek:

Take 27.5 and multiply it by 0.06. you get 1.65. Add 1.65 to 27.5. The total is $29.15.
