josie found a oapir of shoes she wanted prices at $55,but she did not want to pay that much.a few weeks later , the same shoes were marked down to 20% .including the 6% sales tax,how much will she pay if she buys the shoes on sale?
I think you mean -- marked down 20%.
55 * 0.8 = 44
44 * 1.06 = ?
$6.6
The answer is $47.30
To calculate how much Josie will pay for the shoes on sale, we need to follow these steps:
Step 1: Calculate the discount amount.
To find the discount amount, we need to multiply the original price of the shoes ($55) by the discount percentage (20%).
Discount amount = $55 * 20% = $11 (discount amount)
Step 2: Calculate the sale price.
The sale price is the original price minus the discount amount.
Sale price = $55 - $11 = $44
Step 3: Calculate the sales tax.
To find the sales tax, we need to multiply the sale price by the sales tax percentage (6%).
Sales tax amount = $44 * 6% = $2.64 (sales tax amount)
Step 4: Calculate the total amount.
The total amount is the sale price plus the sales tax amount.
Total amount = $44 + $2.64 = $46.64
Therefore, Josie will pay $46.64 if she buys the shoes on sale.
