Answer 1

Answer:

Let's look at some more examples of sales tax. Example 2: If the sales tax rate is 7.25% in California, then how much would you pay in Los Angeles for a pair of shoes that cost $39.00? Solution: ($39.00)*(0.0725) = $2.8275.

Answer 2

Total cost of shoes = $ 41.925

Given:

The sales tax rate in California = 7.25%  

The cost of a pair of shoes = $ 39.00

To find:

The total cost of a pair of shoes

Solution:

Given rate of tax = 7.25%  

As we know total cost = cost price + tax on shoes

Tax on shoes = 7.25% of $39.00

Now calculate 7.25% of $39.00 as given below

= $\frac{7.5}{100} (39.00)$ = $ 2.925  

Tax on shoes = $ 2.925  

Total cost of shoes = $ 39.00 +  $ 2.925 =  $ 41.925

Therefore,

Total cost of shoes = $ 41.925.
