Mason bought a pair of shoes that cost $85.00. If tax was 8%, what was the final price paid for the shoes?

Answer 1

In order to determine the final cost of the shoes, you need to calculate the tax:

8% is equivalent to 0.08 so the tax amount would be :

0.08 * $65 = $5.20

Therefore, the final cost would be $85.00 + 5.20 or $90.20
