Question 1200609: Mini buys a pair of shoes that was priced $450. There is a 9% sales tax in her state. Fortunately, it was 70% off! So she only paid $

the regular price was 450.
70% off gives you a sale price of 450 - .7 * 450 = 135.
9% tax on the sale price is added to that to get a total sale price of 135 * 1.09 = 147.15, including tax.
