Claire is shopping at a shoe store. the store is having a sale and discounting all shoes by 35% of the marked price. she decides to buy a pair of shoes with a marked price of $64.99. explain in words and show ur work

To find the price you need to find 35% of 64.99. To do this multiply 64.99 by 0.35. Your answer will be 22.7465. This number needs to be rounded to the nearest hundredth the result is 22.75 which is how much is taken off the original price. Then you do 64.99 minus 22.75 you will end up with 42.24. So the new price is $42.24. To find the tax you would need to multiply the new price by 7.5% you get 3.17. You then add this to the new price and you get $45.41

0.35 x 64.99=22.75

64.99- 22.75= 42.24

42.24 x .0725= 3.17

42.24+ 3.17= 45.41 with tax
