    First, you need to find 30% of 50. To do so, you have to turn 30% into a decimal by dividing 30 by 100.

    30% ⇒ 0.3

    Now, find 30% of 50 by multiplying 50 by 0.3.

    50 * 0.3 = 15

    30% of 50 is 15, so the discounted price of the shoes would be $15.00.

    We aren't done yet though! We still need to factor in the tax. 1/2 of the sales tax, 8%, is 4%. Find 4% of 15 using the same process as before.

    4% ⇒ 0.04

    Multiply.

    0.04 * 15 = 0.60

    Add 0.60 to 15.

    0.60 + 15 = 15.60

    Answer:

    You would pay $15.60 for a pair of shoes with a regular price of $50.00.
