Isaac is purchasing two pairs of shoes-one pair for $37.00 and the second pair for $42.00. The state sales tax applied to Isaac's bill is 7%. How much is Isaac's total bill? Show your work. (2 points)
To calculate Isaac's total bill, we need to add the cost of the two pairs of shoes and the sales tax.
1. First, add the cost of the two pairs of shoes:
Pair 1: $37.00
Pair 2: $42.00
Total cost of the shoes = $37.00 + $42.00 = $79.00
2. Next, calculate the sales tax.
The sales tax rate is 7%, which means 7/100 or 0.07 in decimal form.
Sales tax = 0.07 * $79.00 = $5.53
3. Finally, find the total bill by adding the cost of the shoes and the sales tax.
Total bill = Cost of shoes + Sales tax
= $79.00 + $5.53
= $84.53
Therefore, Isaac's total bill is $84.53.

If Isaac uses a coupon entitling him to a 25% discount off the purchase price before tax, how much will his bill be? Assume that a 7% sales tax is applied to the discounted price. Using words, explain how you found the discounted price. (3 points)
To find the discounted price, we need to apply a 25% discount to the original purchase price. Here's how we can calculate it:
1. Determine the discount amount:
Since Isaac gets a 25% discount, we need to find 25% of the original purchase price. This can be done by multiplying the original price by 25/100 or 0.25.
2. Calculate the discount:
Discount = Original price * 0.25
3. Subtract the discount from the original price to find the discounted price:
Discounted price = Original price - Discount
Now, let's apply this process to Isaac's case:
Original price of the shoes = $79.00
1. Determine the discount amount:
Discount = $79.00 * 0.25
= $19.75
2. Calculate the discounted price:
Discounted price = $79.00 - $19.75
= $59.25
So, the discounted price of the shoes after a 25% discount is $59.25.
Now, we can calculate Isaac's bill with the sales tax applied to the discounted price:
Sales tax rate = 7%
Sales tax = 7/100 * $59.25
Finally, we find the total bill by adding the discounted price and the sales tax:
Total bill = Discounted price + Sales tax
Therefore, Isaac's bill after the discount and with the sales tax applied would be the sum of $59.25 and the sales tax amount we calculated.
This is another connected question
Sure, I'm ready to help with your connected question. Please go ahead and ask.
The shoe store's clerks are paid on commission. If the clerk receives a 12% commission on total purchase amounts before tax is applied, how much would the commission be for Isaac's purchase with and without a coupon? (2 points)
To calculate the commission for Isaac's purchase, we need to find 12% of the total purchase amount before tax is applied. Let's calculate the commission both with and without the coupon:
1. Without the coupon:
Total purchase amount before tax = Original price of the shoes = $79.00
Commission = 12/100 * Total purchase amount before tax
= 0.12 * $79.00
= $9.48
Therefore, without the coupon, the clerk's commission for Isaac's purchase would be $9.48.
2. With the coupon:
Total purchase amount before tax = Discounted price of the shoes = $59.25
Commission = 12/100 * Total purchase amount before tax
= 0.12 * $59.25
= $7.11
Therefore, with the coupon, the clerk's commission for Isaac's purchase would be $7.11.
Thus, the commission for Isaac's purchase is $9.48 without the coupon and $7.11 with the coupon.
All of these questions are connected
I apologize for any confusion caused by the disconnected responses. Let's connect all the information together and answer the questions:
1. Isaac is purchasing two pairs of shoes:
- Pair 1: $37.00
- Pair 2: $42.00
2. The total cost of the shoes is the sum of the individual pair prices:
Total cost of the shoes = $37.00 + $42.00 = $79.00
3. The sales tax rate applied to Isaac's bill is 7%.
Sales tax = 7/100 * $79.00 = $5.53
4. Isaac also has a coupon entitling him to a 25% discount off the purchase price before tax.
Calculation of the discounted price:
Original price of the shoes = $79.00
Discount = 25/100 * $79.00 = $19.75
Discounted price = $79.00 - $19.75 = $59.25
5. The commission rate for the clerk is 12% on the total purchase amount before tax.
Commission without coupon:
Total purchase amount before tax = $79.00
Commission = 12/100 * $79.00 = $9.48
Commission with coupon:
Total purchase amount before tax = $59.25
Commission = 12/100 * $59.25 = $7.11
