Question

Megan bought shoes for 20% off of the original price of $24.99. She then has to pay 7% sales tax on the sale price. What will be the final price she has to pay for the shoes?

Answer 1

24.99 - (24.99 x 20%)

24.99 - 5.00 = $19.99 is the sale price.

19.99 x 7% = $1.40 is the tax.

Final price = 19.99 + 1.40 = $21.39
