A pair of new shoes were originally $75, but I got them during the sale for 20% off. If the tax in my area is 8.25% , how much did I spend in all ?

Respuesta :

You spent $64.95 or $65

Step-by-step explanation:

As per given conditions,

[tex]75 \times (8.25 \: percent+ 1) \times (1 - 20 \: percent)[/tex]

[tex] = > 75 \times( \frac{8.25}{100} + 1) \times (1 - \frac{20}{100}) [/tex]

[tex] = > 75 \times (0.0825 + 1) \times (1 - 0.2)[/tex]

[tex] = > 75 \times 1.0825 \times 0.8[/tex]

[tex] = > 64.95[/tex]

If you round off to the nearest, then you get $65
