Claire for to a show sale. Everything on the shelf is 35% off the marked price. She falls in love with a pair of red heels that are marked $64.99. if the sales tax is 7.5%, what will the total cost be.?

Percentage of discount on the Marked price = 35%

Marked price of the pair of red heels that Claire falls in love with = $64.99

Then

Amount of discount on the

marked price of the pair of red heels = (35/100) * 64.99 dollars

= 0.35 * 64.99 dollars

= 22.746 dollars

= 22.75 dollars

Then

Price of the red heels after discount = (64.99 - 22.75) dollars

= 42.24 dollars

Percentage of sales tax that needs to be given by Claire = 7.5%

Amount of sales tax that needs to be given by Claire = (7.5/100) * 42.24 dollars

= 316.80/100 dollars

= 3.168 dollars

= 3.17 dollars

Then

The total price of the

red heels that Claire has to pay = (42.24 + 3.17) dollars

= 45.41 dollars

So Claire has to pay a total of $45.41 for the pair of red heels she has fallen in love with.
