Rare shoes had a regular price of $95 but jay found them on sale for 50% off including the 8% sale tax what did jay pay for the shoes.
must show your work.
Regular Price: $95
Discount: 50%
Tax: 8%
Discounted Price = 95 x (1 - 0.50) = $47.50
Tax Amount = 47.50 x 0.08 = $3.80
Total Price = 47.50 + 3.80 = $51.30
uhmm
idk
To find out how much Jay paid for the shoes, we will follow these steps:
Step 1: Calculate the discount amount
Jay found the shoes on sale for 50% off. To calculate the discount amount, we multiply the regular price by the discount rate:
Discount amount = Regular price x Discount rate
Discount amount = $95 x 0.5
Discount amount = $47.50
Step 2: Calculate the price after the discount
To find out the price after the discount, we subtract the discount amount from the regular price:
Price after discount = Regular price - Discount amount
Price after discount = $95 - $47.50
Price after discount = $47.50
Step 3: Calculate the sales tax amount
The sales tax is calculated based on the price after the discount. To find out the sales tax amount, we multiply the price after discount by the sales tax rate:
Sales tax amount = Price after discount x Sales tax rate
Sales tax rate = 8% = 0.08
Sales tax amount = $47.50 x 0.08
Sales tax amount = $3.80
Step 4: Calculate the total amount paid
Finally, we add the price after the discount and the sales tax amount to get the total amount Jay paid:
Total amount paid = Price after discount + Sales tax amount
Total amount paid = $47.50 + $3.80
Total amount paid = $51.30
Therefore, Jay paid $51.30 for the shoes.
