Question 671238
A pair of shoes usually sells for $65. If the shoes are 20% off, and sales tax is 6%, what is the total price of the shoes, including tax?
<pre>
Since 20% is taken off, 100%-20% or 80% remains.

80% of $65 is 0.80×$65 or $52.  That's the price without tax. 

The tax on $52 is 0.06×$52 or $3.12,

$52 + $3.12 = $55.12
