Zach needs a new pair of Nike Air Max. The pair that he wants regularly sells for $129. If they are on sale for 24% off, how much will he pay in total if sales tax is 6.4%?

Answer: $104.31

Step-by-step explanation:

First we need to find what the price is with 24% off. To find that, we convert 24% to a decimal and we get .24

129 • .24= 30.96

30.96 is how much is off the original price. So we subtract.

129-30.96= 98.04

To find the sales tax, we do the same.

98.04 • .064= 6.27456

(6.4% is .064 as a decimal)

98.04+6.27456= 104.31456

We add because the sales tax is going to be added to the price. Since 104.31456 isn’t a real thing money wise, we round it up to 104.31.

Thus, 104.31 is the price of the shoes.
